english: When John Chapin and I, 15 years ago, proposed in a paper that we would build something that we called a brain-machine interface, meaning connecting a brain to devices so that animals and humans could just move these devices, no matter how far they are from their own bodies, just by imagining what they want to do, our colleagues told us that we actually needed professional help, of the psychiatry variety.
non_english: Kada smo Džon Čapin i ja, pre 15 godina, u naučnom radu izjavili da ćemo da sagradimo nešto što smo zvali interfejs za um i mašinu, što je podrazumevalo povezivanje mozga i uređaja, kako bi životinje i ljudi mogli da pomeraju te uređaje, ma koliko bili daleko od svojih tela, samo zamišljajući šta žele da urade. Kolege su nam rekle da nam je zapravo potrebna stručna pomoć, psihijatrijske struke.
