We have about 100 million cells interconnected in our brains. They communicate with one another through electrical signals.

We started all this research way back in the early 1990s, developing a technique that allows us to record the electrical signals produced by neurons simultaneously.

With its billions of interconnected neurons, whose interactions change from millisecond to millisecond, the human brain is an archetypal complex system.

It's not telepathy. It's not the Borg. But we created a new central nervous system made of two brains.

Essentially, all expressions of human nature ever produced, from a caveman's paintings to Mozart's symphonies and Einstein's view of the universe, emerge from the same source: the relentless dynamic toil of large populations of interconnected neurons.

Eventually, brain implants will become as common as heart implants. I have no doubt about that.
