By combining elements such as hypnosis, magic, neurolinguistic programming and psychology, I can make it appear that I can hack into people's brains.

The brain is hugely complicated, and because it is so complicated, it requires multidisciplinary research.

If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't.

We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.

Hacking involves a different way of looking at problems that no one's thought of.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

Hacking is exploiting security controls either in a technical, physical or a human-based element.

It's not easy to cut through a human head with a hacksaw.

In terms of the brain, you can in a crude way think of the human brain as a computer.

You can't imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there's no theory. There's a little, wimpy box on top there.
