Welcome to Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the Official Residence of the Queen of Britain. Over a period of nearly 1,000 years it has been continuously, and altered and redecorated by monarchs(君主) one after the other. Some were great builders, strengthening the Castle against and rebellion; others, living in more peaceful times, created a grand Royal residence. William the Conqueror chose the site, high above the river Thames and on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground. It was a day's march from the Tower of London and intended to guard the western to the capital. The outer walls of today's structure are in the same position as those of the castle built by William the Conqueror in the 1070s. The Queen uses the Castle both as a private home, where she usually spends the weekend, and as a Royal residence at which she undertakes certain formal duties. Windsor Castle is used by the Queen to host State Visits from overseas monarchs and presidents. Every year the Queen takes up official residence in Windsor Castle for a month over Easter (March-April).

The Castle is huge, so people tend to head for the most bits -- the State Apartments, St. George's Chapel, the Gallery and the delightful Queen Mary's Dolls House. Works of art, antique furniture, curiosities and impressive architecture reflect the tastes of many different royal generations. The State Apartments are decorated formal rooms still used for state and official functions.

The magnificent and beautiful St. George's Chapel was started in 1475 by Edward IV and was completed 50 years later by Henry VIII. It among the finest examples of late medieval architecture in the UK.

The Drawings Gallery the exhibition “The Queen: 60 Photographs for 60 Years”. The exhibition presents portraits of the Queen in brief moments on both official occasions and at relaxed family gatherings.

The Next Frontier: Using Thought to Control Machines

Technologies are often billed as transformative. For William Kochevar, the term is justified. Mr Kochevar is paralysed below the shoulders after a cycling accident, yet has managed to feed himself by his own hand. This {#blank#}1{#/blank#} progress is partly thanks to electrodes, implanted in his right arm, which stimulate muscles. But the real magic lies higher up. Mr Kochevar can control his arm using the power of thought. His intention to move is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in neural(神经的) activity in his motor region; these signals are detected by implants in his brain and {#blank#}3{#/blank#} into commands to activate the electrodes in his arms.

An ability to decode thought in this way may sound like science fiction. But brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) like the BrainGate system used by Mr Kochevar provide evidence that mind-control can work. Researchers are able to tell what words and images people have heard and seen from neural activity alone. Information can also be encoded and used to stimulate the brain. Over 300, 000 people have cochlear(耳蜗的) implants, which help them to hear by {#blank#}4{#/blank#} sound into electrical signals and sending them into the brain. Scientists have "{#blank#}5{#/blank#}" data into monkeys heads, instructing them to perform actions via electrical pulses.

As our Technology Quarterly in this issue explains, the pace of research into BCIs and the scale of its ambition are {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Both America's armed forces and Silicon Valley are starting to focus on the brain. Facebook dreams of thought-to-text {#blank#}7{#/blank#}. Kernel, a startup, has $100m to spend on neurotechnology. Elon Musk has formed a firm called Neuralink; he thinks that, if humanity is to survive the arrival of artificial intelligence, it needs an upgrade. Entrepreneurs imagine a world in which people can communicate using thoughts, with each other and with machines, or acquire {#blank#}8{#/blank#} abilities, such as hearing at very high frequencies.

These powers, if they ever materialise, are decades away. But well before then, BCIs could open the door to wonderful new {#blank#}9{#/blank#}. Imagine stimulating the visual region to help the blind, making new neural{#blank#}10{#/blank#} in stroke victims or monitoring the brain for signs of depression. By turning the firing of neurons into a resource to be used, BCIs may change the idea of what it means to be human.
