"This might enable us to repair brains that have been damaged... through accidents or disease." "But it will also make it perhaps possible to establish... communication directly, from one brain to another." "Something that today is essentially limited to speech between humans." "Thus, instead of using speech... it might become possible to communicate directly, brain-to-brain." "It's quite a fantastic notion to imagine." "Though I must also say that there are many other applications... perhaps more practical in use, in the short-term." "By pinpointing the electric circuitry... at different sections of the brain... we should be able to read the contents of that brain... put it on a hard disk and then transmit this directly to another person's brain, etc."
