Automatic dream journal entries! So much for my plan of using Morse Code. |

That's awesome. But could you imagine that kind of technology in the hands of a totalitarian state? |
|
I find it disarmingly cute how you always feels compelled to insert some bizarre kernel of impenetrable absurdity into your posts. |
|
I just find it hilarious when you find any possible sentence in a person's post to baselessly argue with, without so much as mentioning a word of what the person actually said. That level of passive and vague insult takes skill, and is humorous on numerous levels. |
|
You do know what 'mute' means, right..? |
|
I don't tend to disagree that an understanding of neuroscience and developments in technology will greatly change our species, it's just that I don't see how this in particular is very important. It'd be kind of redundant learning how to speak again when just using your existing voicebox to speak, which can then be detected by a computer just as immediately, pretty much amounts to the same thing. |
|
Nice, can't watch the video where I am but would be interesting to see results on someone in a coma. Or used on someone seconds after passing away.. |
|
Sounds like they still got a little ways to go, because the sounds were just barely recognizable. I wouldn't underestimate how useful it would be for people who can not speak though. Your first reaction might be that it isn't many, but there are actually millions of people just in the US who could benefit from it. |
|
You said you're "not sure of any practical benefits to this" which is a lot different from simply not mentioning something that someone else already said. |
|
Lol, there you go again. What are you talking about? You think people will willingly turn off their own cognitive faculties because they're 'useless'? |
|
Why not? Thinking is a LOT more efficient when you don't have to speak every measly thing you're thinking about. |
|
Your statement is still just as impenetrably bizarre and unfounded, sorry. Cognitive neuroscience is nowhere near developed enough to tell if what you're saying even makes any sense, let alone is true. |

Yeah coz everyone doesn't do that on a daily basis or anything. It's one of the most founded things there is. |

I suggest you begin a career in cognitive science, because you appear to be in possession of proof of one of the most crucial and contentious issues in the field. As you clearly consider yourself far more intelligent and penetrating than the combined thousands of experimental psychologists, linguists, philosophers, and neuroscientists who actually spend their lives researching these issues, you would definitely be an invaluable asset. |
|
I have no scientific studies proving it. I do have observation, the same which almost every human shares. |
|
People in comas for the most part have little brain function mostly just the subconscious part that regulates the body to keep it from dying. However there is no thinking going on. People in comas don't have dreams the entire time they're unconscious or anything. They may have a dream when they're coming out of the coma. But it's not really a normal thing. So no they probably don't have internal dialogue. |
