-
Screens can work wirelessly and run on the amount of power supplied from a small solar panel and room light.
-
I took on the math-intensive art form of holography and, in my early 20s, traveled the world, living on university fellowships to pursue this esoteric craft. I didn't date much, really - perhaps because I didn't have many hormones, though I didn't know that at the time.

-
Elon Musk is talking about silicon nanoparticles pulsing through our veins to make us sort of semi-cyborg computers. But why not take a noninvasive approach? I've been working and trying to think and invent a way to do this for a number of years and finally happened upon it and left Facebook to do it.
-
My system uses the speed of components in cameras and cell phones to get four inches of depth through the brain.
-
My central thesis is that combining increased temporal and spatial resolution in MRI techniques with increasingly powerful data correlation techniques will allow the derivation of interpreted meanings from neural signals. I observed, further, that the techniques that exist already allow some correlations.
-
I'm actually an engineer.
-
For the devices we use... the funding models are completely screwed up. Angel funding isn't sufficient for hardware.
