See what your pet sees, hear what it hears, have access to
all its senses.
Know what it
thinks and even control its body like your own if you want.
Granted that last seems a little unlikely without artificial
nerve shunts to cut (redirect) it's own motor signals out of
the loop, something
we've not found a technology for
yet, but never let it be said we aren't willing to indulge
in a little hyperbole in the interest of sales, particularly not
in front of our
shareholders.
Seems like a natural extension of Musk's Neuralink to us here
at
EverPet (previously branded as PermaPet), we're really
excited by the prospects & are offering it as an
optional extra with our bespoke pets.
Your pet will be fitted with a bidirectional Neurolink (as will
you), the two
hooked together by Bluetooth through your mobile phone &
one worn on your pets collar.
Software your end allows you to control functionality (who
gets sent what by
who).
We're very excited by the potential for law enforcement.
Imagine a police dog handler who knows exactly
what
his dog is smelling.
OK so we don't really know how much functionality you
might
actually get.
But we've never let that stop us.
And we know some of you
will
buy it anyway :)

We're very excited about the potential for law breakage. "I
have no idea why a squirrel would just grab my wallet and
keys and run..." |
|
| |
"Now I am become theft (Hermes?), the
stealer
of wallets" |
|
| |
So you put one end of the leash around your own neck, and hold the other end in your hand? |
|
| |
You get to give yourselves treats if you correctly obey your own commands? |
|
| |
Ignore the above, I hadn't read the idea. But now I am concerned about the //bidirectional// link. You could find yourself chasing rabbits and squirrels all day and trying to lick your own bum, instead of working. |
|
| |
Yes, the legal disclaimers are going to be a bit of a challenge,
but we're working on them. |
|
| |
Well, there is the stinky habit that dogs have of going straight
for each other's butts to sniff out their, well you know. |
|
| |
Not to mention the way cats sniff their pooty right before
covering it with litter. |
|
| |
I'm guessing you would program your preferences and/or "don't
even go there" sensory experiences. |
|
| |
Would you be training your own brain to adjust to
these input also? I'm a bit leary of sniffing new co-
worker's butts on my first day at a new job... |
|
| |
Brain plasticity? that'd be half the fun I think, seeing what
your own brain makes of it on its own. |
|
| |
But you should be able to 'sculpt' the experience, map your
own brains response to different smells as well as the pets
& route the signal for a particular smell from its brain into
the appropriate
part of yours for the smell you want. |
|
| |
It smells dead mouse, your brain tells you vanilla. |
|
| |
And your boss tells you to get out. |
|
| |
Well obviously you should try to remember not to lick any
vanilla you didn't smell with your own nose, as long as you do
that.. or should that be don't do that?.. you should be fine
with
your boss. |
|
| |
Particularly if it's mouse shaped. |
|
| |
[Sorry for the edit [Ray] it was a little too gross b4 the mouse
died, your anno still works & my reply is less foul] :) |
|
| |
Well, there appear to be people who are very into
this kind of thing [link] |
|
| |
Then there’s Fluke, by James Herbert [link] |
|
| |
It’s a nice idea. I think I’d most like to try it with a
wild animal - a dolphin or an eagle perhaps. |
|
| |
Then again, what I’d really like is to experience
what an animal thinks, rather than what it senses. |
|
| |
Does it scale? What does an ant think? A blue
whale? An earthworm? |
|
| |
//what I’d really like is to experience what an animal

|
| |
What the brain is doing, & hence what it 'thinks', is
essentially
what Neurolink is about. |
|
| |
Depends on which areas you drop
the
wires into of course, only do the visual cortex you'll
only get what it makes of visual stimuli, the bits that
handle reasoning & you get them too. |
|
| |
So with enough
wires stitched in (& within the limits of your brains
plasticity & ability to translate the information it gets from
them)
you should be
covered there [Frankx] .. maybe. |
|
| |
//A blue whale// Presents no special problems
other than signal
transmission when submerged. |
|
| |
//An earthworm// Anything really small will be a
challenge, how will it carry it's mobile phone? |
|
| |
I don't know if reading the 100 micron axon will be enough. |
|
| |
Neuralink 1500 wires 4-6 micron widths, nerve cells also have 5-7 biological wire dendrites at 2 microns.
There's still a bit of missing data to fill in. Still might possibly be inferred from the overview, though. |
|
| |
Then again, it's all down to how the brain has formed it's relationship with the outside and encoded the held model. |
|
| |
Butt smells as colours or music might be ok. |
