From page 14... ...
The benefits of a program that would enable electronic and biological information processing systems to talk to one another would range from basic scientific understanding of the architectures of biological systems (neural networks represent an example that has already proved important in computation) , to neural and perceptual prostheses, to very long range visions of systems that are partly biological and partly electronic and are able to combine the most characteristic features of each.

From page 15... ...
The reverse process using a computer to generate signals that would be interpreted by the brain as "seeing" is sufficiently difficult that there is no real single point of entry into the problem. Any attack on this problem will require the combined effort of virtually all the disciplines touching on the field: electrical engineering, biology, materials science, information science, and microfabrication.
