Yes, the modality tapping as a target for BCI... The inner speech can be accessed this way (your "phonological loop").
The experiments here are less "function-discriminative" I think, it's rather "what" (classification) than "how" (inverse-engineering the imagination). http://scienceblogs.com/developingintelligence/2009/01/svms_decode_intentions_the_sta.php For the paper I want, I'm interested in the language aspect of all this (and especially AGI-related). What is the place for inner speech, "communication of the system with itself" that is amenable to episodic memory, in a cognitive architecture, its relation to thought in general? Is the inner speech language exactly the same as the language used for communication with others (e.g. in its semantics)? How to enhance the transfer of context-delineation? 2009/1/5 Abram Demski <[email protected]>: > Lukasz, > > I think the most realistic "near-term" (next 10/20 years?) telepathy > technology will deal with sensory modalities, rather than high-level > concepts.
