The maxim, "Know thyself" has been around since the ancient Greeks. Some attribute this golden world knowledge to Plato, others to Pythagoras. But the truth is it doesn't really matter which sage said it first, because it's still sage advice, even today. "Know thyself." It's pithy almost to the point of being meaningless, but it rings familiar and true, doesn't it? "Know thyself." I understand this timeless dictum as a statement about the problems, or more exactly, the confusions, of consciousness. I've always been fascinated with knowing the self. This fascination led me to submerge myself in art, study neuroscience, and later, to become a psychotherapist.
Maksima "Spoznaj sebe" postoji još od stare Grčke. Neki je pripisuju Platonu, neki Pitagori, ali i nije toliko bitno koji mudrac ju je prvi koristio, već to da se zadržala do današnjih dana. Spoznaj sebe. Precizno pogađa suštinu, gotovo do tačke besmisla, ali zvuči poznato i istinito, zar ne? Spoznaj sebe. Ja ovu bezvremenu sentencu shvatam kao izraz problema, ili preciznije, konfuzije spoznaje. Oduvek me je fasciniralo spoznavanje sebe. Ta fascinacija me je inspirisala da "uronim" u svet umetnosti, proučavam neuronauku i kasnije postanem psihoterapeut.
Today I combine all my passions as the CEO of InteraXon, a thought-controlled computing company. My goal, quite simply, is to help people become more in tune with themselves. I take it from this little dictum, "Know thyself." If you think about it, this imperative is kind of the defining characteristic of our species, isn't it? I mean, it's self-awareness that separates Homo sapiens from earlier instances of our mankind.
Danas kombinujem te svoje strasti kao izvršni direktor InteraXon-a, kompanije koja se bavi stvaranjem umom kontrolisane kompjuterske tehnologije. Moj cilj, veoma jednostavno, jeste da pomognem ljudima da budu usklađeniji sa samim sobom. On proizlazi iz te kratke sentence, Spoznaj sebe. Kad malo razmislite, uvidećete da je ovaj imperativ neka vrsta definisanja svojstva naše vrste, zar ne? Samospoznaja je ono što odvaja homosapiensa od ranijih faza čovečanstva.
Today we're often too busy tending to our iPhones and iPods to really stop and get to know ourselves. Under the deluge of minute-to-minute text conversations, e-mails, relentless exchange of media channels and passwords and apps and reminders and Tweets and tags, we lose sight of what all this fuss is supposed to be about in the first place: Ourselves. Much of the time we're transfixed by all of the ways we can reflect ourselves out into the world. And we can barely find the time to reflect deeply back in on our own selves. We've cluttered ourselves up with all this. And we feel like we have to get far, far away to a secluded retreat, leaving it all behind.
U današnje vreme smo suviše zauzeti svojim iPhonima i iPodima i nemamo vremena da zastanemo i zaista pogledamo u sebe. U poplavi SMS komunikacije iz minuta u minut, imejlova, neprestanog "bombardovanja" medija novim sadržajima, lozinki, aplikacija, podsetnika, tvitovanja i tagovanja, gubimo uvid u ono što stoji iza sve te huke i buke, a to smo mi sami. Većinu vremena smo "paralizovani" svim načinima kojima izražavamo sebe u odnosu na spoljašnji svet, i jedva da pronađemo malo vremena da promislimo o svom unutrašnjem "ja". Upleteni smo u čitavu tu gungulu, i čini nam se da moramo da se povučemo daleko u neko izolovano utočište i da ostavimo sve za sobom.
So we go far away to the top of a mountain, assuming that perching ourselves on a piece is bound to give us the respite we need to sort the clutter, the chaotic everyday, and find ourselves again. But on that mountain where we gain that beautiful peace of mind, what are we really achieving? It's really only a successful escape. Think of the term we use, "Retreat." This is the term that armies use when they've lost a battle. It means we've got to get out of here. Is this how we feel about the pressures of our world, that in order to get inside ourselves, you have to run for the hills? And the problem with escaping your day-to-day life is that you have to come home, eventually. So when you think about it, we're almost like a tourist visiting ourselves over there. And eventually, that vacation's got to come to an end.
I tako odlazimo daleko, na vrhove planina, pretpostavljajući da će nam boravak tamo doneti preko potreban predah da se izborimo sa gungulom, svakodnevnim haosom, i ponovo pronađemo sebe. Ali šta je to što povlačenjem na tu planinu koje nam pruža blaženi duševni mir, zaista postižemo? To je zapravo samo uspešan beg. Razmislite o terminu koji koristimo - "povlačenje". To je termin koji se u vojsci koristi nakon izgubljene bitke. To znači da moramo da odemo odavde. Da li je to ono što osećamo u vezi sa pritiscima današnjice? Da li je, da bismo spoznali sebe, potrebno "bežati u brda"? Problem u begu od svakodnevnice je to što se pre ili kasnije morate vratiti. Kada malo razmislite o tome, mi smo poput turista koji posećuju sebe tamo. A taj odmor se jednom mora završiti.
So my question to you is, can we find ways to know ourselves without the escape? Can we redefine our relationship with the technologized world in order to have the heightened sense of self-awareness that we seek? Can we live here and now in our wired web and still follow those ancient instructions, "Know thyself?" I say the answer is yes. And I'm here today to share a new way that we're working with technology to this end, to get familiar with our inner self like never before -- humanizing technology and furthering that age-old quest of ours to more fully know the self. It's called thought-controlled computing.
Dakle, moje pitanje je: možemo li pronaći načine da spoznamo sebe bez da tražimo utočište u begu? Možemo li na drugačiji način da definišemo svoj odnos prema svetu preplavljenom tehnologijom u cilju pojačavanja osećaja samosvesti za kojim tragamo? Možemo li da živimo ovde i sada u svojoj globalnoj mreži a da se pritom još uvek držimo drevnog saveta: spoznaj sebe. Ja smatram da je odgovor - da. Ovde sam danas da podelim sa vama novi način na koji možemo koristiti tehnologiju da spoznamo svoje unutrašnje ja kao nikada ranije - humanizujući tehnologiju i unapređujući to vekovno traganje za potpunijom spoznajom sebe. Zove se umom kontrolisano korišćenje računarske tehnologije.
You may or may not have noticed that I'm wearing a tiny electrode on my forehead. This is actually a brainwave sensor that's reading the electrical activity of my brain as I give this talk. These brainwaves are being analyzed and we can see them as a graph. Let me show you what it looks like. That blue line there is my brainwave. It's the direct signal being recorded from my head, rendered in real time. The green and red bars show that same signal displayed by frequency, with lower frequencies here and higher frequencies up here. You're actually looking inside my head as I speak. These graphs are compelling, they're undulating, but from a human's perspective, they're actually not very useful. That's why we've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make this data meaningful to the people who use it.
Možda ste primetili da imam malu elektrodu pričvršćenu na čelo. To je zapravo senzor moždanih talasa koji očitava elektro aktivnost mog mozga dok držim ovaj govor. Talasi se analiziraju i možemo ih videti predstavljene u grafikonu. Pokazaću vam kako to izgleda. Ona plava linija predstavlja moje moždane talase. To je direktni signal koji se beleži iz moje glave, prikazan u realnom vremenu. Zeleni i crveni deo predstavljaju isti taj signal prikazan frekvencijama, nižim ovde, a višim tamo. Bukvalno možete videti šta se odigrava u mojoj glavi dok pričam. Ovi grafikoni privlače pažnju, talasasti su, ali iz perspektive čoveka oni zapravo i nisu od neke koristi. Zato smo proveli mnogo vremena razmišljajući kako da ove podatke učinimo smislenim ljudima koji ih koriste.
For instance, what if I could use this data to find out how relaxed I am at any moment? Or what if I can take that information and put it into an organic shape up on the screen? The shape on the right over here has become an indicator of what's going on in my head. The more relaxed I am, the more the energy's going to fall through it. I may also be interested in knowing how focused I am, so I can put my level of attention into the circuit board on the other side. And the more focused my brain is, the more the circuit board is going to surge with energy.
Na primer, šta ako mogu da iskoristim ove podatke da otkrijem koliko sam opuštena? Ili ako ih predstavim u organskom obliku na ekranu? Oblik sa desne strane postaje pokazatelj procesa koji se odigravaju u mojoj glavi. Što sam opuštenija, više energije će teći kroz njega. Možda me interesuje i koliko sam fokusirana, pa mogu da unesem podatke o nivou pažnje u kontrolnu ploču sa druge strane. Što je veći nivo koncentracije, veće će biti promene u energiji koje očitava kontrolna tabla.
Ordinarily, I would have no way of knowing how focused or relaxed I was in any tangible way. As we know, our feelings about how we're feeling are notoriously unreliable. We've all had stress creep up on us without even noticing it until we lost it on someone who didn't deserve it, and then we realize that we probably should have checked in with ourselves a little earlier. This new awareness opens up vast possibilities for applications that help improve our lives and ourselves. We're trying to create technology that uses the insights to make our work more efficient, our breaks more relaxing and our connections deeper and more fulfilling than ever. I'm going to share some of these visions with you in a bit, but first I want to take a look at how we got here. By the way, feel free to check in on my head at any time.
Uobičajeno, ne postoji nikakav opipljiv način da saznam koliko sam opuštena ili fokusirana. Kao što znamo,naša osećanja o tome kako se osećamo su nepopravljivo nepouzdana. Svima nam se dogodilo da i ne primetimo koliko se stresa u nama nagomilalo sve dok se ne iskalimo na nekom ko to uopšte ne zaslužuje a onda shvatimo da je trebalo da sami to uvidimo i sprečimo na vreme. Ova nova osvešćenost otvara ogromne mogućnosti za poboljšanje naših života i nas samih. Pokušavamo da stvorimo tehnologiju koja na osnovu uvida u našu unutrašnjost čini naš rad efikasnijim, a odmor opuštenijim, naše veze dublje i smislenije nego ikad. Podeliću neke od ovih vizija sa vama uskoro, ali prvo želim da vam pokažem kako smo stigli do toga. Slobodno bacite pogled na to
(Laughter)
šta se dešava u mojoj glavi kad god vam odgovara.
My team at InteraXon and I have been developing thought-controlled application for almost a decade now. In the first phase of development, we were really enthused by all the things we could control with our mind. We were making things activate, light up and work just by thinking. We were transcending the space between the mind and the device. We brought to life a vast array of prototypes and products that you could control with your mind, like thought-controlled home appliances or slot-car games or video games or a levitating chair. We created technology and applications that engaged people's imaginations, and it was really exciting.
(Smeh) Moj tim u kompaniji InteraXon i ja radimo na umom kontrolisanoj aplikaciji već deset godina. U prvoj fazi smo bili oduševljeni količinom stvari koje se mogu kontrolisati ljudskim umom. Činili smo stvari aktivnim i sjajnim isključivo razmišljanjem. Uspeli smo da premostimo razlike između ljudskog uma i uređaja. Oživeli smo ogroman broj prototipa i proizvoda koje je moguće kontrolisati ljudskim umom, kao što su npr aparati za domaćinstvo, slot ili vigeo igre, ili levitirajuća stolica. Stvorili smo tehnologiju i aplikacije koje su podsticale maštu ljudi, i to je bilo zaista uzbudljivo.
And then we were asked to do something really big for the Olympics. We were invited to create a massive installation at the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics, were used in Vancouver, got to control the lighting on the CN Tower, the Canadian Parliament buildings and Niagara Falls from all the way across the country using their minds. Over 17 days at the Olympics, 7,000 visitors from all over the world actually got to individually control the light from the CN Tower, parliament and Niagara in real time with their minds from across the country, 3,000 km away. So controlling stuff with your mind is pretty cool.
A onda smo dobili zadatak da uradimo nešto zaista bitno za Olimpijske igre. Trebalo je da napravimo ogromnu instalaciju na Zimskoj Olimpijadi u Vankuveru 2010, koja bi kontrolisala rasvetu na zgradi C.N. Tauera, zgradama kanadskog Parlamenta i Nijagarinim vodopadima, a kojom bi se upravljalo sa drugog kraja zemlje snagom ljudskog uma. U periodu od 17 dana 7.000 posetilaca Olimpijade imalo je priliku da pojedinačno kontroliše osvetljenje na C.N. Taueru, Parlamentu i Nijagarinim vodopadima u realnom vremenu snagom svog uma, sa udaljenosti od 3.000 km. Dakle, kontrolisanje stvari snagom uma je prilično kul.
But we're always interested in multitiered levels of human interaction. And so we began looking into inventing thought-controlled applications in a more complex frame than just control. And that was responsiveness. We realized that we had a system that allowed technology to know something about you. And it could join into the relationship with you. We created the responsive room where the lights, music and blinds adjusted to your state. They followed these little shifts in your mental activity. So as you settled into relaxation at the end of a hard day, on the couch in our office, the music would mellow with you. When you read, the desk lamp would get brighter. If you nod off, the system would know, dimming to darkness as you do.
Ali, mi se bavimo i istraživanjem višeslojne ljudske interakcije, pa smo započeli rad na osmišljavanju aplikacija kojima upravlja ljudski um na kompleksniji način u odnosu na puko kontolisanje, a to je povratna sprega. Shvatili smo da postoji sistem koji omogućava da tehnologija sazna nešto o vama, i tako se može stvoriti veza između nje i vas. Stvorili smo prostoriju za ispitivanje povratne sprege u kojoj su svetlo i muzika bili prilagođeni nečijem stanju. Kroz ove stvari praćene su promene u mentalnoj aktivnosti. Tako da, ako se opuštate na kauču u kancelariji na kraju napornog radnog dana, i muzika postaje blaža, u skladu sa raspoloženjem. Ako čitate, lampa na stolu sija jače. Ako zadremate, sistem će znati za to, i svetla će se prigušiti.
We then realized that if technology could know something about you and use it to help you, there's an even more valuable application than that. That you could know something about yourself. We could know sides of ourselves that were all but invisible and come to see things that were previously hidden. Let me show you an example of what I'm talking about here.
Shvatili smo da, ako tehnologija "sazna" nešto o ljudima, i to iskoristi da nam pomogne, dobićemo još vredniju primenu. Tako možemo saznati nešto novo o sebi. Možemo uvideti neke aspekte svoje ličnosti kojih nismo ni bili svesni i otkriti neke stvari koje su bile skrivene. Pokazaću vam primer za ovo o čemu pričam.
Here's an application that I created for the iPad. So the goal of the original game Zen Bound is to wrap a rope around a wooden form. So you use it with your headset. The headset connects wirelessly to an iPad or a smartphone. In that headset, you have fabric sensors on your forehead and above the ear. In the original Zen Bound game, you play it by scrolling your fingers over the pad. In the game that we created, of course, you control the wooden form that's on the screen there with your mind. As you focus on the wooden form, it rotates. The more you focus, the faster the rotation. This is for real. This is not a fake. What's really interesting to me though is at the end of the game, you get stats and feedback about how you did. You have graphs and charts that tell you how your brain was doing -- not just how much rope you used or what your high score is, but what was going on inside of your mind. And this is valuable feedback that we can use to understand what's going on inside of ourselves.
Evo aplikacije koju sam napravila za iPad. Cilj originalne Zen Baund igre je obmotati uže oko određene figure od drveta. Igramo je pomoću uređaja koji je pričvšćen za glavu. Ovaj uređaj je bežičnom vezom povezan sa iPad-om ili smartfonom. U njemu se nalaze senzori prikačeni na čelo i iznad uha. U originalnoj igri, igra se tako što se prstima skroluje po ekranu. U igri koju smo mi osmislili, drvena figura na ekranu se kontroliše umom. Ako se koncentrišete na tu figuru, ona će se okretati. Što se više koncentrišete, rotacija je brža. Ovo je stvarno moguće. Nije laž. Ono što je meni interesantno je to da se po završenoj igri mogu dobiti statistički podaci i fidbek o tome koliko ste bili uspešni. Postoje grafikoni i tabele sa podacima o tome kako se vaš mozak ponašao - ne samo o tome koliko ste užeta iskoristili ili koji je vaš najbolji rezultat, nego i to šta se dešavalo unutar vašeg uma. A to su dragoceni povratni podaci koje možemo da koristimo da saznamo šta se dešava unutar nas.
I like to call this "intra-active." Normally, we think about technology as interactive. This technology is intra-active. It understands what's inside of you and builds a sort of responsive relationship between you and your technology so that you can use this information to move you forward. So you can use this information to understand you in a responsive loop. At InteraXon -- intra-active technology is one of our really defining mandates. It's how we understand the world inside and reflect it outside into this tight loop.
Volim da ovaj proces nazivam intra - aktivnim. Obično tehnologiju doživljavamo kao interaktivnu. Ova tehnologija je intra - aktivna. Ona razume šta se dešava unutar vas i gradi neku vrstu povratne sprege između vas i tehnologije. Podaci koje dobijamo ovim putem mogu nam pomoći da napredujemo, da razumemo svoju ulogu u povratnoj sprezi. U kompaniji InteraXon, intra-aktivna tehnologija je jedan od naših definišućih principa. To je način na koji razumemo svet iznutra i izražavamo sebe spolja u toj čvrstoj sprezi.
For example, thought-controlled computing can teach children with ADD how to improve their focus. With ADD, children have a low proportion of beta waves for focus states and a high proportion of theta states. So you can create applications that reward focused brain states. So you can imagine kids playing video games with their brain waves and improving their ADD symptoms as they do it. This can be as effective as Ritalin. Perhaps even more importantly, thought-controlled computing can give children with ADD insights into their own fluctuating mental states, so they can better understand themselves and their learning needs. The way these children will be able to use their new awareness to improve themselves will upend many of the damaging and widespread social stigmas that people who are diagnosed as different are challenged with.
Na primer, umom kontrolisana kompjuterska tehnologija može da nauči decu koja pate od poremećaja pažnje kako da poboljšaju koncentraciju. Deca sa ovim sindromom imaju nisku proporciju beta talasa za stanje fokusa i visoku proporciju teta stanja. Za njih se može napraviti aplikacija koja nagrađuje stanja fokusa. Zamislite decu koja igraju video igre snagom svojih moždanih talasa i uz to rešavaju problem poremećaja pažnje. To može delovati jednako efikasno kao i ritalin. Ono što je možda od još većeg značaja, jeste da ovakva kompjuterska tehnologija može da pruži uvid ovoj deci u oscilacije njihovih mentalnih stanja, tako da mogu bolje da razumeju sebe i svoje potrebe pri učenju. Nova svest o rešavanju ovog problema može da pomogne deci da rade na sebi i da poboljšaju svoje stanje, što bi drastično uticalo na sprečavanje raširene i štetne društvene stigmatizacije sa kojom se ove osobe susreću.
We can peer inside our heads and interact with what was once locked away from us, what once mystified and separated us. Brainwave technology can understand us, anticipate our emotions and find the best solutions for our needs. Imagine this collected awareness of the individual computed and reflected across an entire lifespan. Imagine the insights that you can gain from this kind of second sight. It would be like plugging into your own personal Google.
Možemo da pogledamo šta se zbiva unutar naših glava, i stupimo u vezu sa nečim što ranije nije bilo dostupno, nečim što nas je nekada zbunjivalo i razdvajalo. Tehnologija moždanih talasa može da nas razume, da predvidi naša osećanja i pronađe najbolje rešenje za naše potrebe. Zamislite svu ovu sakupljenu svest pojedinca kompjuterski obrađenu i prikazanu kroz čitav životni vek. Zamislite koliko toga se može saznati iz drugačije perspektive. Bilo bi to kao da ste se konektovali na svoj sopstveni Gugl.
On the subject of Google, today you can search and tag images based on the thoughts and feelings you had while you watched them. You can tag pictures of baby animals as happy, or whatever baby animals are to you, and then you can search that database, navigating with your feelings, rather than the keywords that just hint at them. Or you could tag Facebook photos with the emotions that you had associated with those memories and then instantly prioritize the streams that catch your attention, just like this. Humanizing technology is about taking what's already natural about the human-tech experience and building technology seamlessly in tandem with it. As it aligns with our human behaviors, it can allow us to make better sense of what we do and, more importantly, why. Creating a big picture out of all the important little details that make up who we are.
Govoreći o Guglu, danas možete naći i označiti slike na osnovu misli i osećanja koja ste imali dok ste ih gledali. Možete obeležiti slike mladunaca životinja kao srećne, ili bilo kojim drugim osećanjem koje oni izazivaju u vama, a onda možete istraživati bazu podataka, rukovodeći se svojim osećanjima, a ne ključnim rečima koje su samo nagoveštaj. Ili možete da obeležite fotografije na Fejsbuku emocijama koje vas vežu za te uspomene, i time odmah date prioritet stvarima koje vam privlače pažnju ovako. Humanizovanje tehnologije je uzimanje onoga što već prirodno postoji u odnosu ljudi i tehnologije i stvaranje tehnologije u skladu sa tim. Usklađujući se sa ljudskim ponašanjem, tehnologija nam može pružiti svest o tome šta radimo, i još važnije, zašto to radimo, stvarajući širu sliku napravljenu od mnogo malih ali bitnih detalja od kojih smo sačinjeni.
With humanized technology we can monitor the quality of your sleep cycles. When our productivity starts to slacken, we can go back to that data and see how we can make more effective balance between work and play. Do you know what causes fatigue in you or what brings out your energetic self, what triggers cause you to be depressed or what fun things are going to bring you out of that funk? Imagine if you had access to data that allowed you to rank on a scale of overall happiness which people in your life made you the happiest, or what activities brought you joy. Would you make more time for those people? Would you prioritize? Would you get a divorce?
Uz pomoć humanizovane tehnologije možemo pratiti kvalitet ciklusa spavanja. Kada produktivnost počne da opada, možemo se vratiti na podatke i pogledati kako možemo napraviti bolju ravnotežu između posla i zabave. Znate li šta izaziva umor kod vas, a šta povećava nivo energije, šta vas čini depresivnim, a šta vam pričinjava uživanje? Zamislite da imate pristup podacima koji, na skali sveukupne sreće, pružaju mogućnost rangiranja ljudi koji su vas učinili najsrećnijim, ili aktivnosti koje su vam pričinile najviše zadovoljstva. Da li biste provodili više vremena sa tim ljudima? Da li biste se razveli?

What thought-controlled computing can allow you to do is build colorful layered pictures of our lives. And with this, we can get the skinny on our psychological happenings and build a story of our behaviors over time. We can begin to see the underlying narratives that propel us forward and tell us about what's going on. And from this, we can learn how to change the plot, the outcome and the character of our personal stories.
Ono što umom kontrolisana kompjuterska tehnologija omogućava je stvaranje živih, slojevitih slika naših života. Uz pomoć toga, moguće je dobiti precizne podatke o psihološkim procesima i stvoriti uvid u naše ponašanje kroz vreme. Možemo spoznati stvari koje postoje ispod površine koje nam daju podsticaj, i pružaju detaljniji uvid u to šta se dešava. Na taj način, možemo naučiti kako da menjamo stvari i utičemo na ishod i karakter naših ličnih priča.
Two millennia ago, those Greeks had some powerful insights. They knew that a fundamental piece falls into place when you start to live out their little phrase, when you come into contact with yourself. They understood the power of human narrative and the value that we place on humans as changing, evolving and growing. But they understood something more fundamental -- the sheer joy in discovery, the delight and fascination that we get from the world and being ourselves in it; the richness that we get from seeing, feeling and knowing the lives that we are.
Pre dva milenijuma, Grci su uočili neke zaista moćne istine. Znali su da će se najvažniji deo slagalice uklopiti u čitavu sliku jednom kada ljudi počnu da se ponašaju u skladu sa tom njihovom kratkom izrekom, kada ostvare kontakt sa samim sobom. Oni su razumeli snagu ljudske priče i vrednost čoveka kao bića koje se menja, evoluira, raste. Ali oni su razumeli i još jednu, važniju stvar - a to je sama radost otkrivanja, zadovoljstvo i fascinacija koju nam pruža svet oko nas i mi sami kao deo tog sveta, bogatstvo koje nam pruža posmatranje, osećanje i spoznaja života koji smo mi sami.
My mom's an artist, and as a child, I'd often see her bring things to life with the stroke of a brush. One moment, it was all white space, pure possibility. The next, it was alive with her colorful ideas and expressions. As I sat easel-side, watching her transform canvas after canvas, I learned that you could create your own world. I learned that our own inner worlds -- our ideas, emotions and imaginations -- were, in fact, not bound by our brains and bodies. If you could think it, if you could discover it, you could bring it to life.
Moja majka je umetnica, i kao dete sam često gledala kako je oživljavala stvari jednim potezom četkice. U jednom trenutku postojalo je samo prazno platno, mogućnost. U sledećem, postajalo je živo, puno raznobojnih ideja i izražaja. Dok sam sedela kraj štafelaja, posmatrajući je kako oslikava platno za platnom, naučila sam da je moguće stvoriti svoj sopstveni svet. Naučila sam da naši unutrašnji svetovi - naše ideje, osećanja i mašta nisu, zapravo, ograničeni našim mozgom i telom. Ako smo u stanju da zamislimo određene ideje, da ih otkrijemo, onda možemo i da ih oživimo.
To me, thought-controlled computing is as simple and powerful as a paintbrush -- one more tool to unlock and enliven the hidden worlds within us. I look forward to the day that I can sit beside you, easel-side, watching the world that we can create with our new toolboxes and the discoveries that we can make about ourselves.
Za mene, umom kontrolisano korišćenje kompjutera je jednako jednostavno i moćno kao i potez četkicom po platnu - to je još jedno od "oruđa" kojim možemo da oslobodimo i oživimo skrivene svetove unutar nas. Radujem se danu kada ću moći da sedim pored vas, i posmatram svet koji stvaramo novim alatkama i nove stvari koje otkrivamo o sebi.
Thank you.
Hvala.
