Right but the headline leaps over the interstitial 20-100 year gap in ability and reads like the prize is to the first person who can read a brain, beach and all.
"The Memory Decoding Challenge: $100k for decoding from a preserved brain"
well its more like:
"The Memory Decoding Challenge: $100k for science progressing a mythical future when we can reliably do decoding from a preserved brain, but god knows what a preserved brain is because right now, it's conjecture if liquid nitro is the go or not. I mean what if it turns out encasing in wax and formalin is better?" except that is too long. I see the problem. Like brain decoding, its harder than it looks.
