Computer-Brain Interface Protocol

The human mind is very flexible and capable of re-wiring itself pretty much as needed, as has been proven by various brain implant experiments.

Presently the communications mechanisms for each such experiment tends to be developed just for that experiment. For example optic implants only connect to the optic nerve and generic implants connect directly to the gray matter and the user is expected to do the heavy lifting of communicating with it.

While every brain is different major centers of communication, concept storage, association, and so forth are about the same.

I propose a standardized brain-computer communication protocol generalized to most people's brain types, requiring specific implant locations, and involving a series of interaction steps that will almost always result in effective communication.

For example the computer could send signals to arbitrary locations in the user's visual cortex and the user would respond to the computer with what it's trying to say. Many such prearranged conversations would let the computer understand how to best communicate but mutual understanding would be established much faster because most people store visual information in the same general places.

The idea is that given a certain set of guidelines the computer is following the typical user can establish effective communication faster using these protocols.

The computer-brain interface can then be used to send and receive arbitrary kinds of signals and a computer can have a driver that sees the interface as a session layer protocol.
