There are so many benefits, that is exciting!
From re-gaining the ability to sense and move, as shown in the last experiment, to maybe learn faster different skills like languages for example. But as always there is a downside in the implementation of these discoveries if we learn how to manipulate the brain in an external matter, we will be able to violate the freewill and that is dangerous. The bright side would be found if we are able to learn how to manipulate our own brain, induce this plasticity in our own system so every person is able to re-gain or develop motor, learning and sensing functions by their own.

La idea de simular la consciencia en una computadora es interesante, pero parte de la consciencia es sensible, por muchos algoritmos y caminos que un programa de computadora pueda aprender para simular tener consciencia, siempre estará limitada. Aún cuando físicamente se pueda descubrir y replicar la generación de la consciencia, hay una parte que no tiene que ver con lo físico y esa es la que una computadora no puede tener.

It is very interesting for me, how consciousness is such a mystery even when we all experience it. I agree that it is necessary to be present in order to be conscious, otherwise we fall in these zombie behaviors, but anyways there has to be a kind of “automatic-mode consciousness” because even when we act like zombies something within us knows what we are doing, like when we are driving back home and don’t need to think, we drive automatically and yet, we get home, we don’t go anywhere else.
