Direct mind-computer interface The term 'direct' implies that the exchange of data between the mind and the computer is not handled through intermediate organs such as the eyes, ears, mouth, or hands (currently the most common sets of organs used to interface one's consciousness with a computer). These semantical notations are crucial in the contemplation of a direct mind-computer interface, as depending on one's point of view as to what the term 'mind' and 'computer' mean, a direct mind-computer interface may fall under various catagories from "already extant" to "possible but not currently in existence" to "completely impossible". For example, if an individual believed that the 'mind' was an ineffable construct, with no direct link to any physical construct that we can detect, then demonstrating to that individual an electronic coupling between the brain of an animal (of whatever order), and an electronic device would not be a compelling argument. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/direct_mind_computer_interface

Mind Reading Minds will soon be boggling, and presumably so will any machines they happen to be controlling. This is not a quibble about whether the computer's behavior deserves to be called `understanding', but a claim that computers will not be able to duplicate the full range of human language capabilities without some fundamentally new approach to the way in which they are built and programmed. Questions such as `Can a computer compose a symphony that people find moving and beautiful?' or `Can a computer come up with a cure for cancer?' are equally understandable and testable. www.maxmax.com /aMagicMindReading.htm

The Computer Revolution: The Preparation: Book on Space colonizatin, transhumans, nanotechnology. A more likely way of creating a direct human to computer link is to insert a large number of connections into an area of the brain that's used for the hearing portion of speech processing, and then train the brain itself to use those connections to hear the computer. But it is the computer's ability to merge information, technology, and mind that will determine what type of beings we will become in our next stage of evolution. Computer technology is the most important technology humans will ever develop. www.thepreparation.com /Chap3.html

Human-computer interaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Intuitiveness is probably best thought of as a relative notion, rather than being intrinsic to a user interface. One of the top academic conferences for new research in human-computer interaction, especially within Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study of interaction between people ( www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Human-computer_interaction

Can the Computer Interface Change the Language of Film? Fight Club draws even more from the hypermediated computer interface by having a scene in which the contents of the protagonist's apartment are broken down by the catalog name and price of each item, looking remarkably like a Flash rollover interface. In fact, in examining some recent films cinema has already begun borrowing elements of the computer interface and constructed its stories, without borrowing the complete interactive nature of the computer. Now the latest media to take hold of our culture, the computer interface, has come along with a strong resemblance to its forefather, film. fargo.itp.tsoa.nyu.edu /%7Erh445/interface_film

Multics Bibliography The system includes particular features for creating instructional software, and in that application it is intended for direct use by teachers or other persons whose expertise lies in the subject matter being addressed, but not necessarily in computer programming. The user interface, based on a TTY-style terminal, allows the users to concentrate on the content of the meeting instead of on the interface or the computer. In the late spring and early summer of 1964 it became obvious that greater facility in the computing system was required if time-sharing techniques were to move from the state of an interesting pilot experiment into that of a useful prototype for remote access computer systems. www.multicians.org /biblio.html

Researchers Demonstrate Direct, Real-Time Brain Control Of Computer Cursor This work is a step toward enabling paralyzed humans to use thoughts to control a cursor that would allow them to read e-mail, surf the World Wide Web, or perform other functions through a computer interface. It is the stuff of science fiction: Researchers at Brown University have used a tiny array of electrodes to record, interpret and reconstruct the brain activity that controls hand movement - and they have demonstrated that thoughts alone can move a cursor across a computer screen to hit a target. Activity of the neurons is first recorded while a cursor on a computer screen is moved to hit a target using a mouse-like handle. www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2002/03/020314080832.htm

The Art of Human-Computer Interface Design This broader perspective on interfaces in general harks back to Brenda Laurel's introductory remarks about a rounded doorknob being "biased towards the hand." The goal of interface designers, then, is to make the interface biased towards the operations of the human mind. The Art of Human-Computer Interface Design is an anthology of essays, musings, interviews, and editorials on the topic of human-computer interaction. Computer agents will serve as guides or coaches to help you navigate through information systems. www.wap.org /journal/hcibook.html

Amateur_Computerist_fall_1992.html Gibson's cyberspace was typified by direct mind-computer interface and a universally shared metaphor, the electronic world, a gridded floor over which floated the glowing Euclidian shapes of data structures and complex systems. Computers could achieve wide penetration if low-end computers were easily available with easy-to-use software and good reasons to use them. There are international computer networks that exist which allow a person to have debates with other people across the world, search for data in various data banks, or even play a computer game. www.vrx.net /usenet/essays/Amateur_Computerist_fall_1992.html

Surreptitious Acoustic Signal Modulation, Voice Projection, and Direct Brain Interface It is just my nonconsensual direct brain interface sent to the "effects loop" of the underground bunker, and then sent back to "amps" around me to provide the final acoustic effect. Consider that if the victims are implanted or otherwise have a direct brain interface, there is a good chance that the harassers do also. The main technique this article deals with is subliminal voices hidden in the natural sounds of appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, computer fans, and other electric devices, especially those with motors. www.heart7.net /signal-modulation.html

Charles T. Tart : Mind Embodied! Computer-Generated Virtual Reality as a New, Dualistic-Interactive Model for Transpersonal Psychology - 1991 - Rhine Centenary Conference on Cultivating Consciousness for Enhancing Human Potential, Wellness and Healing Now we are using digital computers as models of the mind, which has been very stimulating in some ways, but not too human somehow. But it is not a simple, direct interaction with the physical world; we have these maps, these concepts, these perceptual learnings and conditionings in between us and simply interacting with the world a good deal of the time. What we experience as our self (both physical and mental) and as the "real" world around us is not a simple, straightforward perception of what is actually here at this moment, but a semi-arbitrary construction, created by relatively automatized brain (and probably mind) processes. www.paradigm-sys.com /cttart/sci-docs/ctt91-mecgv.html

Salon 21st Thought-activated computing J.R.'s amplified brain impulses are sent to a computer through an antenna on his forehead. And we transmit those signals out across the skin with another transmitter, pick them up, amplify them, run them through a computer. J.R. is the subject of a radical new procedure that Dr. Phillip Kennedy has developed to give a voice to victims of stroke and other paralyzing disorders. www.salon.com /21st/feature/1998/11/23feature.html

Geek.com Geek News - Brain-computer interface could help the disabled The potential for this technology appears to be vast, and direct brain-computer interfaces may be common within as little as a decade. With sufficiently sophisticated brain-computer interfaces, more advanced devices than this one could be used to precisely control artificial limbs, or to provide a facsimile of vision to the blind. Successful BCIs (brain computer interfaces) have been developed using tens of neurons. www.geek.com /news/geeknews/2003Nov/bch20031110022586.htm

Singularity Watch (Understanding Accelerating Change) Even our minds and intentions, in a process that William Bainbridge calls "personality capture," are becoming incrementally encoded into our increasingly intelligent technological infrastructure, so that it may better anticipate our needs, and serve us with increasing responsiveness and effectiveness with each passing year. It's as if many of our best minds are giving up and turning to nostalgia as they see the wall of their own conceptualizing limitations rising before them. For Moravec and Kurzweil, one key metric of acceleration is the price performance of computation (computing power purchasable every year, in constant dollars). www.singularitywatch.com
