Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I really thought biocomputers were just the realm of sci-fi. How long til we get bio-neural gel packs I wonder?

I understand why they're so heavily invested in a neurological model for this, but it's a little surprising that they don't appear to have any behaviourists involved (at least, not from the way the journal article is written). They would have a lot to offer in terms of the nature schedule and of the "feedback" provided.

There’s a 2022 research paper linked in the article that may explain more but it’s way above my head.

Yeah, that's the one I was looking at. I'd just like to see more interdisciplinary collaboration on stuff like this!
