I've worn a continuous glucose monitor a few times. So you stick this thing in your arm and you leave it there for 10 days. And every five minutes, it gives you a reading of your blood glucose level. It gives you direct feedback on how your body responds to the foods you eat, also to stress or lack of sleep that you simply don't get otherwise.

I learned more about my metabolism in 10 days than I had over the entire rest of my life combined.

What you're talking about with these nanorobots is obviously in the future, but is there anything now that I can buy and I can strap on my head, and I know it's not going to be individual neurons, but that would allow me to get feedback about my brainwaves and be able to learn in that same way I do with a glucose monitor?

I could imagine that I would put one of these EEGs on and I would just find some feeling I like, bliss or peace, or maybe it's a feeling induced by drugs and alcohol. And I would be able to see what my brain patterns look like in those states. Then I could sit around and try to work towards reproducing those same patterns.

Now, it might not actually lead to anything good, but in your professional opinion, total waste of time you trying to do that?

You know, I'm a big believer in data, though, and it seems like somebody should be building... AI systems that are able to look at those squiggles and give me feedback. The thing that I'd so hard about the brain is that we don't get direct feedback about what's going on, which is how the brain is so good at what it does.

If the brain didn't get feedback from the world about what it was doing, it wouldn't be any good at predicting things. So I'm trying to find a way that I can get feedback. But it sounds like you're saying I got to live for 20 more years if I want to hope to do that.
