When John Chapin and I, 15 years ago, proposed in a paper that we would build something that we called a brain-machine interface, meaning connecting a brain to devices so that animals and humans could just move these devices, no matter how far they are from their own bodies, just by imagining what they want to do, our colleagues told us that we actually needed professional help, of the psychiatry variety.
Quando John Chapim e eu,  há 15 anos , escrevemos um artigo propondo construir uma coisa  a que chamámos "interface" cérebro-máquina, ou seja, ligar o cérebro a dispositivos, para que animais e seres humanos  pudessem mover esses dispositivos, não importa quão longe  estivessem do seu corpo, imaginando apenas o que querem fazer, os nossos colegas disseram  que precisávamos de ajuda psiquiátrica.
