A Recorder for Cicero, a USB Key for Mozart and Hot Pepper for Everybody

Abstract

If seen from the outside, how does our brain work? We know it makes use of the inputs from our five senses that are at the moment the only interface between our brain and the rest of the world to accumulate data, feel emotions, make decisions and work out strategies. Furthermore, we know that, as a result of the analysis of the inputs coming from the senses and of decisions taken, it is able to produce an output in the shape of orders sent to the rest of the organism in the most various forms: a movement of the arm to catch a tennis ball, but also a watering mouth, an erection, a blush, words and much, much else.
