My main question is how might we explore best applying the ideas in your talk to creating a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs/ Earth for actual-virtual, physical-digital comparison and STEM resaerch (and for ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, which I'll explain below), and even with A) a robotics' component (Lego robotics' too), B) A.I., as well as C) future of education aspects? And how best to collaborate with Stanford, and possibly even as an academic course (only in part)? This project would involve creative collaboration on a very large scale, and across languages and countries, and via innovative digital platforms including re Quantum Computing potentially - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/01/british-robin-quantum-computing-and-in.html .  By realistic virtual Harbin / Earth,  am thinking here, conceptually, of Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth with Tensorflow re AI and machine learning, and at the cellular and atomic levels too (a ginormous data project), with realistic AVATAR BOTs, both individuals and species  - and for actual-virtual, physical-digital robotics' design innovation too.

Li, I was excited to hear you mention brain headsets re imaging and seeing the physical physical images viewed in pictures of neural processing. Am interested in transmitting this  

- these images' data - into this realistic virtual earth - (think again of Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER  Maps / Earth / TensorFlow / Brain / Translate with avatar bots of individuals and species, and brains, - and eventually for tele-robotic surgery, for example). More under the 'brain' label in my blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Brain . Am curious further how we might explore this with brain wave headsets such as - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2013/01/flower-coral-brainfingers-hands-free.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/11/human-brain-music-brainwave-device-tan.html.

Larry, I was excited too to learn of fNIR technologies that measure the same interval as FMRIs… but that one uses a cap – so, no claustrophobia, - and that fNIR can done in real world (and re that both technologies measure blood-oxygen levels in a specific part of your brain). I was also glad to see your Lego robotics' example re social collaboration. Re an actual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic field work, I was glad too to hear you say "be careful, travel with someone" which is relevant for Harbin and potential student field work. And in a related vein, was glad too to hear you say "Why is collaboration so hard? Because we ask you to find your way, In the woods in the dark, ... In the FUTURE" with much relevance for an actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project with field work as well. 

Re AI, I was glad to hear Bill Clancey's fascinating talk the week before in Prof. Jiang's course - https://me.stanford.edu/events/me268-william-j-clancey-how-think-critically-about-artificial-intelligence (see too https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/01/ranunculus-stanford-how-to-think.html) - and re exploring anew thinking critically about TensorFlow. In this realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs' project - and for https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy which is briefly characterized here https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/11/pacific-yew-world-univ-and-sch-medicine.html.

For example, 

To close, am interested re your "Dancing with Neurodesign: Embracing neuroscience instruments to better design human collaboration" how to study, for example, eliciting loving bliss neurophysiology from the Harbin warm pool, as well as from bath tubs at home (for the relaxation response meditation in warm water - how to measure this?) while visiting virtual Harbin, as STEM research, by wearing brain wave headsets and transmitting data into a realistic virtual Harbin with avatar bots at the cellular and atomic levels to study how loving bliss brain chemistry works - and for developing sophisticated modeling of brains with real time real world data. Larry and Li, what would you suggest to develop this further? 

Thank you so much for this fascinating talk. (And great to meet you as well Bill and Sime, with your MIT, Brown and Stanford connections).
