DIGITIZING TOUCH for prosthetics. “This is the first time as far as I know where an animal or organism actually perceives a tactile stimulus through an artificial transducer. If every time you see your robotic arm touching something, you get a sensation that is projected to it, I think it’s very possible that in fact, you will consider this new thing as being part of your body.""

DIGITIZING THE EMOTIONS: TiVo for the emotions, emotions on demand, digital surrogates? By accessing deep authentic memories? We already can insert and delete memories in lab animals. Our internal library of emotions is probably limbic and hard-wired, and available on cassettes at the brain corner store View in LinkedIn

HAPTICS. "When we talk about haptics, the transfer of sensation from the digital world to the real world, we often discuss the next generation of human-computer interfaces. Future hardware and software could become more intuitive when you can actually feel what you are working with. However, haptics are also a key point of entry into full sensory virtual reality".

VIRTUAL REALITY. " Ray Kurzweil, the futurist and now Google’s director of engineering, argued in “The Singularity Is Near,” a 2005 book, that technology is advancing exponentially and that “human life will be irreversibly transformed” to the point that there will be no difference between “human and machine or between physical and virtual reality.”" " http://lnkd.in/bzwK-ra View in LinkedIn

He is also the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Singularity University, a graduate-level Silicon Valley institution for exponentially growing technologies, and their ability to transform industries and solve humanity's grand challenges View in LinkedIn

GOOGLE ON KNOWLEDGE. "Google...is staking its future on a vast store of information called the Knowledge Graph. When it launched in May 2012, Knowledge Graph was a pool of 3.5 billion facts on 500 million of the world's most searched subjects. In a little over a year the knowledge held on the Google servers has grown to 18 billion facts on around 570 million subjects."" " http://www.independent.co View in LinkedIn

GOOGLE WANTS TO IMPLANT a chip in your brain. Overstated, but reality is not that far away, as brain sensors get smaller and non-invasive. The world's most innovative company is moving in this direction, rest assured. " " http://www.independent.co View in LinkedIn

IMPLANTABLE BRAIN CHIPS? This lovely article summarizes the linear path from early implantable pumps to cochlear and retinal implants, and ultimately to implantable brain chips. It is linear and logical when you examine the history, and not the least shocking when taken in context. " " http://lnkd.in/bEXekKR View in LinkedIn
