Hypothetically reverse-engineer programming solutions from the brain?
jacquesm: Theoretically the brain çomputes, therefore 'hypothetically' it should be possible to isolate some of the functions a brain performs and reverse engineer them.There has been some success with reverse engineering the spatial imaging happening in a monkey brain while it makes a maneuvre to reach some object. The path is clearly visible in the brain of the monkey before it gets executed.For much interesting reading on this subject try Steven Pinker, How the mind works.
