My point about reading already maxing out our understanding bandwidth is more precisely this: our visual system has enormous data bandwidth, that far surpasses the rate at which we can make sense of that data.https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1042493581707993088 …
And that's *after* we spent a lifetime tuning most of our brain to make sense of that data stream. You can slightly increase our rate of information intake with a better visual interface (better app design). But a higher-bandwidth neural data transfer link would be useless
If we sat down and looked at what was offloaded / automated (O/A), I think we'd be shocked at how little is. Even of the tasks that can be O/A, few are. The answer isn't a faster keyboard or bigger screen, it's leaning more heavily toward O/A. Neural interfaces don't help that.
The bandwidth problem is with the human ability to process the information, and that's where a neural link could do some of that processing and push thoughts to us. i.e the neural-link could make sense of that visual data, tell us things we don't notice or see.
That's an application of computing in general -- process data then show us some digest (in visual form, text form, whatever). It has nothing to do with BCIs, and it works very well with other kinds of interfaces (e.g. AR for the example you give above).
It's not hard to imagine that preprocessing into some representation can make better use of the same bandwidth
Not to mention augmenting working memory. Why is it so hard to multiply n-digit numbers in my head when each intermediate step is trivial
I make this exact point quite often. Just think about why our brains possess capacity for human language/social communication! Scientists love that industry wants to put $$$ into neuro-tech but not for solving these bandwidth issues.
Many including myself have enjoyed “direct transfer of learning” where a particular concept or even arrangement of concepts is intuitively understood when worked on with a teacher or master, even when we struggled with books for years. Chen Tai Chi is a perfect example.
A picture is worth a thousand words: we have relatively high input bandwidth but very low output bandwidth. You really don't think the interface to our old brain cant't be improved?
I get the feeling a flood of high bandwidth data into ones consciousness would be akin to having schizophrenia. I wouldn't want to be the Guinea pig.
