Synthesis and Processing of Materials
U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command
• It is based on reasonable extrapolation from existing sciences.
• It synthesizes the results from three fields.
• This is only one of many potential outcomes.
Brain-computer interface (BCI)
Network Science (NS)
Synthetic telethaphy
50 years
15 years
Brain-brain interface (BBI) 15 years

Cognition, Computers & Cooperation
Let us start with the experimental evidence that:
1. machines can directly influence the brain;
2. the brain can directly influence machines.

Cognition, Computers & Cooperation
• Brain-computer Interface (BCI) experiments gained notoriety in the spring of 1965, when the Yale neuroscientist Jose Delgado stopped a charging bull by transmitting a radio signal to an implant in the caudate nucleus of the animal’s brain.

Cognition, Computers & Cooperation
• Five hundred years of experiments studying the human brain.
• First brain-to-brain Interface (BBI) experiments involved two rats.
• Encoder is the sender and decoder is the receiver
• Encoder learns empirically
• Decoder learns by having information funneled into his brain directly
