8.I understand this timeless dictum as a statement about the problems, or more exactly the confusions, of consciousness.
我认为这个永恒不变的格言 是对意识相关的问题，或者更确切的说，是对意识的混乱性 的宣言
9.I've always been fascinated with knowing the self.
我总是对了解自己非常感兴趣
10.This fascination led me to submerge myself in art, study neuroscience and later to become a psychotherapist.

39.humanizing technology and furthering that age-old quest of ours to more fully know the self.
我们努力使科技更人性化， 进一步研究“更了解自己” 这个古老的问题。
40.It's called thought-controlled computing.
这个研究叫做“思维控制计算”。
41.You may or may not have noticed that I'm wearing a tiny electrode on my forehead.
你或许注意到 我额头上带了一个小小的电导条，
42.This is actually a brainwave sensor that's reading the electrical activity of my brain as I give this talk.
这其实是一个脑电波感应器。 在我做演讲的时候它可以读出 我大脑中的电波活动。
43.These brainwaves are being analyzed and we can see them as a graph.
然后对这些脑电波进行分析。我们可以看这个图，
44.Let me show you what it looks like.
我给你展示一下这个是什么样的。
45.That blue line there is my brainwave.
那条蓝色的线是我的脑电波。
46.It's the direct signal being recorded from my head, rendered in real time.

47.The green and red bars show that same signal displayed by frequency, with lower frequencies here and higher frequencies up here.
绿色和红色的柱形图显示的是同样的信号，不过它们计算的是频率， 这边是低频率， 那边是高频率。
48.You're actually looking inside my head as I speak.
我现在讲话的时候你其实是在看着我的大脑。
49.These graphs are compelling, they're undulating, but from a human's perspective, they're actually not very useful.
这些图是很有说服力的，它们呈波状。 但是从一个人的角度看， 他们其实并不是特别有用。
50.That's why we've spent a lot of time thinking about how to make this data meaningful to the people who use it.
这也是我们花许多时间 来研究 如何使它更有效的原因。
51.For instance, what if I could use this data to find out how relaxed I am at any moment?
比如，我用这个数据来分析 我现在的放松程度是怎样的？
52.Or what if I can take that information and put it into an organic shape up on the screen?
或者如果我把这些信息 变成一个有机的体系展示在屏幕上呢？
53.The shape on the right over here has become an indicator of what's going on in my head.
右边的那个形状 就是我大脑活动的指示器。
54.The more relaxed I am, the more the energy's going to fall through it.

55.I may also be interested in knowing how focused I am, so I can put my level of attention into the circuit board on the other side.
我还想知道 我有多集中精力， 所以我就把注意力程度放进电路板的另一边。
56.And the more focused my brain is, the more the circuit board is going to surge with energy.

57.Ordinarily, I would have no way of knowing how focused or relaxed I was in any tangible way.
一般来说，我不可能以一种可视的方式来看到 我究竟多么集中精力或者放松。
58.As we know, our feelings about how we're feeling are notoriously unreliable.

我们正在努力创造一种技术， 可以用洞察力使我们的工作更有效，休息时间更放松， 联系更紧密，生活更充实。
63.I'm going to share some of these visions with you in a bit, but first I want to take a look at how we got here.
待会我会跟你们稍微分享一个这些内容， 但是首先我想带你们看看我们如何做到这些。
64.By the way, feel free to check in on my head at any time.

65.(Laughter) My team at InteraXon and I have been developing throught-controlled application for almost a decade now.
（笑声） 我们InteraXon团队 十年以来一直致力于发明这个思想控制装置。
66.In the first phase of development we were really enthused by all the things we could control with our mind.
第一个阶段 我们被这些可以控制意识的东西深深吸引。
67.We were making things activate, light up and work just by thinking.
我们仅仅通过思考来使事情 更有意思。
68.We were transcending the space between the mind and the device.
我们超越了思维和设备 之间的空间，
69.We brought to life a vast array of prototypes and products that you could control with your mind, like thought-controlled home appliances
并把大量可以控制意识的设计和产品 带到日常生活中， 比如思想控制家庭装置、
70.or slot car games or video games or a levitating chair.
插槽汽车游戏、电脑游戏、 飘浮椅。
71.We created technology and applications that engaged people's imaginations, and it was really exciting.
我们创造了 加入人们想象力的科技和产品， 这真的很令人激动。
72.And then we were asked to do something really big for the Olympics.
然后我们被邀请为奥林匹克比赛 做点大项目。
73.We were invited to create a massive installation at the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics, were used in Vancouver, got to control the lighting on the C.N. Tower,
我们被邀请为2010年 温哥华冬奥会 安装一个大设备， 来用意识控制
74.the Canadian Parliament buildings and Niagara Falls from all the way across the country using their minds.
整个国家的C.N.塔、加拿大议会大楼、 尼亚加拉大瀑布上 的灯光。

冬奥会举办的17天里， 有来自世界各地的7000多名游客， 每个人都用他们的意识
76.with their minds from across the country, 3,000 km away.
参与控制了C.N.塔、加拿大议会大楼、尼亚加拉大瀑布上的灯光， 这些地方跨度有3000千米。
77.So controlling stuff with your mind is pretty cool.
用你的意识来控制东西 真的很有意思。
78.But we're always interested in multi-tiered levels of human interaction.
但是我们通常都对多层次的人际互动感兴趣。
79.And so we began looking into inventing thought-controlled applications in a more complex frame than just control.
所以我们开始尝试发明 一种比仅仅控制意识 更复杂的大脑控制装置，
80.And that was responsiveness.
那就是反应。
81.We realized that we had a system that allowed technology to know something about you.
我们明白现在已经有 一个让科技了解人类的体系了，
82.And it could join into the relationship with you.
而且这个可以增加你和科技的互动。
83.We created the responsive room where the lights music and blinds adjusted to your state.
我们建立了一个反应室， 这里灯光、音乐和窗帘都可以根据你的状态进行调整。
84.They followed these little shifts in your mental activity.
他们通过你的大脑活动来做这些改变。
85.So as you settled into relaxation at the end of a hard day, on the couch in our office, the music would mellow with you.
所以当你经过劳累的一天坐下休息的时候， 在办公室的沙发上， 音乐会使你缓和。
86.When you read, the desk lamp would get brighter.
当你阅读的时候，桌上的台灯会变亮。
87.If you nod off, the system would know, dimming to darkness as you do.
如果你点头示意，系统也会了解， 然后就会像你通常做的那样将光线调暗。
88.We then realized that if technology could know something about you and use it to help you, there's an even more valuable application than that.
我们于是明白了如果科技产品知道你的相关信息， 并且利用这些信息来帮助你， 那么它们就会更有价值。
89.That you could know something about yourself.
你就可以更加了解自己。
90.We could know sides of ourselves that were all but invisible and come to see things that were previously hidden.
我们可以知道自己一些 隐形的侧面， 然后看到之前隐藏的东西。
91.Let me show you an example of what I'm talking about here.
现在我给你举个例子仔细解释一下。
92.Here's an application that I created for the iPad.
这是我为iPad制作的 一个应用
93.So the goal of the original game Zen Bound is to wrap a rope around a wooden form.

你越集中注意力，它转的越快。
101.This is for real.
这是真的，
102.This is not a fake.
不是谎言。
103.What's really interesting to me though is at the end of the game you get stats and feedback about how you did.
对我来说比较有趣的是 游戏结束时你就可以得到一个 刚才那些行为的数据和反馈。
104.You have graphs and charts that tell you how your brain was doing -- not just how much rope you used or what your high score is, but what was going on
你会看到一些展示大脑变化情况的图表， 不是关于你用了多少绳子 或者得了多高的分， 是关于你大脑刚才的
105.inside of your mind.
活动情况。
106.And this is valuable feedback that we can use to understand what's going on inside of ourselves.
我们可以利用这个反馈 来了解大脑的 变化情况。
107.I like to call this "intra-active."
我想称之为 “人人交互”。
108.Normally we think about technology as interactive.
一般我们都认为科技 是人机交互式的。
109.This technology is intra-active.
这个技术是 人人交互式的。
110.It understands what's inside of you and builds a sort of responsive relationship between you and your technology so that you can use this information

115.For example, thought-controlled computing can teach children with ADD how to improve their focus.
比如，思想控制计算 可以帮助有多动症的孩子 提高他们的注意力。
116.With ADD, children have a low proportion of beta waves for focus states and a high proportion of theta states.
患有多动症的孩子注意力的beta波都很低， theta波很高。
117.So you can create applications that reward focused brain states.
所以你可以创造一种可以对集中注意力的状态进行表扬的设备。
118.So you can imagine kids playing video games with their brain waves and improving their ADD symptoms as they do it.
想象一下孩子们玩游戏的时候， 可以通过脑电波的变化来提高他们的注意力，改变多动症的症状。
119.This can be as effective as Ritalin.
这就像利他林（兴奋剂）一样有效。
120.Perhaps even more importantly, thought-controlled computing can give children with ADD insights into their own fluctuating mental states,
或许更重要的是， 思想控制计算可以让患有多动症的儿童 了解他们变化着的思想状态，
121.so they can better understand themselves and their learning needs.
这样他们就更了解自己和 他们的学习需求。
122.The way these children will be able to use their new awareness to improve themselves will upend many of the damaging and widespread social stigmas
孩子们利用新的意识来提高自己的这种方式 会颠覆许多具有破坏力和广泛传播的社会不良现象，
123.that people who are diagnosed as different are challenged with.
