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.
Kada smo John Chapin i ja, prije 15 godina predložili rad da ćemo izgraditi nešto što smo zvali sučelje mozak-stroj što bi značilo povezivanje mozga s uređajima kako bi životinje i ljudi mogli pomicati te uređaje bez obzira koliko su daleko od njihovih vlastitih tijela, jednostavno zamišljajući što žele činiti, naši kolege su nam rekli da mi zapravo trebamo profesionalnu, psihijatrijsku pomoć.
