| | | | | A few weeks ago I've been interviewed for H+ Magazine on my project of re-engineering human consciousness with new technologies such as brain-machine interfaces, and I attach the most interesting points from the interview here. Shortly about the project: to develop such brain-machine interface that will enable us to actually feel what is going on... | |

Consciousness is more like music than computation. | |

A major figure in my former field, Nima is extremely quotable (frequent examples include "spacetime is doomed" and "the universe is not a crappy metal"), but those quotes don't seem to quite have reached the popular physics mainstream. He's been interviewed in books by physicists,... | |
