Re: Brain-computer interface and quantum robots
Ronald. I pursue (vaguely) such development and - though have no intention to outguess Bruno's opinion - find it a VERY PRACTICAL (may I call it: e-bio) line. (lineS - plural). Quite amazing results have been so far achieved in this IMO totally initial phase. I can't wait how the ultra-theoreticians on this list will include such results into 'machine-consciousness' etc. ideas.

Re: Brain-computer interface and quantum robots
I have to agree that I am curious what responses I will get from the frequent posters. I see this as someday being able to say,yes, Doctor.

The authors write, However, recent studies lead to the conclusion that the human mind is not a classical computer, and, in general, not completely reducible to any kind of computer (not even classical) because of the non-algorithmic nature of some mental processes. But they give to no reference to these recent studies. The paper seems to be about well known problems in training artificial neural networks and other artificial learning algorithms. Sure EEG is inadequate to define intention, there's just not much information there. I don't see that as having any foundational implications.

Sure EEG is inadequate to define intention, there's just not much information there. I don't see that as having any foundational implications. I think so. Yet the authors postulate a wave collapse, and conclude The previous arguments showed that the quantum approach predicts the possibility of a direct action of mind on matter. Just an old idea, it seems to me. See Deutsch and Albert for quantum intospection in Everett and Bohm respectively.
