if you take a short exposure photo, you get very little light. But we're going to go a billion times faster than your shortest exposure, so you're going to get hardly any light. So what we do is we send that bullet -- that packet of photons -- millions of times, and record again and again with very clever synchronization,

We've been able to achieve synchronization of laser systems, and it's worked beautifully. We've known how to build lasers for many decades, but it's only now that the technology has gotten inexpensive enough, and become mature enough that we can imagine having huge arrays, literally,

Because, think about all the applications and implications that the voice may have, as we discover more about it. Your voice is a very complex phenomenon. It requires a synchronization of more than 100 muscles in your body. And by listening to the voice,

Is that what enabled you to synchronize? So to put the question a little more seriously, let's ask ourselves what are the minimum requirements for what you just did, for spontaneous synchronization. Do you need, for instance, to be as smart as you are?

This conscious purposeful synchronization of different neuronal ensembles by the prefrontal cortex is called mental synthesis. In order for mental sythesis to work, signals would have to arrive at both neuronal ensembles at the same time.
