What is this Tornado?

Excellent post and link!!

Someone once said: "If the brain were simple enough for us to understand it,we would be too simple to understand it."

We may never totally understand it beyond a "black Box" scenario but we can at least manipulate the outputs of the boxes somewhat.

The neural implants to move muscles seem to be a stop gap method.

The real goal should be,and probably is, an implant at the brain stem to stimulate the original nerves to restore muscle movement.

I know I am oversimplifying the method,but if a wire breaks in an electrical circuit,you can shunt around it with another wire.

So if a signal is being lost beyond a certain point,a device could be placed above this

point,to receive the signal as an input,then output the same type signal downstream, beyond the breakage.

I recently saw a 3D rendering of the known universe,and it is

amazingly similar to a brain and synapses.

So perhaps the entire universe is just one large intelligent organism,and we are

merely parasites,and the cosmic expansion is a growth spurt.
