Plus, you can record when you took the image and see the prediction happened 
before the button push, so at that point it's not a matter of how the brain 
works but a matter of how the machine works. Whether you can say "I can 
predict" vs "I could predict if I spent another million on this machine" 
doesn't change the fact that there's sufficient information there to make a 
prediction.

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?
