We need one of the technologies to evolve to the point where it delivers decent spatial AND temporal resolution... > I'll bet AI's will be required to analyze the data sets will be > getting in the next 20 years. Heck, to fully analyze Barak's data *now* requires something really fancy like the current-version Novamente. The analysis he's doing is cool, but only gathers a little bit of the information in the (relatively simple) data he's already gathered... So, yeah, when we finally get to measuring cognitive processes, we'll definitely need some really powerful data analysis tech, verging on if not fully manifesting AGI...
