Real Virtual Reality: Join the Discussion

[quantumeso]

Does anyone know of any groups who discuss this from a scientific or even experimental standpoint? Yes I am talking about a Matrix type virtual world. I have many ideas and with the state of the world in the way it is, from my perspective - could perhaps be a very important thing to consider.

The experimental standpoint is severely limited because there is nothing even remotely close to a matrix-style virtual reality. The technology is very, very far away from the present. We can barely connect to small numbers of sensory and motor neurons in a meaningful way, let alone connect to the brain in a manner that would allow us to completely immerse someone in a virtual environment. On top of that we also don't understand the brain well enough either. Heck, we don't even know why we sleep!

Perhaps this (epistemo-philosophical) article might be worth looking at: https://campuspress.yale.edu/keithderose/how-can-we-know/

Thread moved out of the technical forums and into SciFi, and is now closed. Have a nice day.
