MCKINSEY REPORT ON DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES MAY 2013. The link (apologies!). http://lnkd.in/UA77iV View in LinkedIn

CRAIG VENTER on 3D printing molecules and vaccines is enthusiastic about the possibilities. His own work is focused on converting biological information into digital information, just different formats for coding. View in LinkedIn

DNA SAMPLE TO 3D FACE: although very crude, an interesting beginning. DNA samples from discarded objects are PCR amplified and sequenced, and after aligning SNPs allows allele identification. This graduate student wrote a program focusibg on physical characteristic alleles like sex, eye and hair color, and used 3D printing to print a model of the face. "A work in progress.".

GUIDE DOGS begone! How about an intelligent trained rat who is able to control your wheelchair by its thoughts as you navigate the streets? Or guide machinery in mine search and rescues? The Japanese are developing robotics to assist the elderly. What about our rat-machine interface? The examples are obviously getting silly, but I hope my point is made. We are, as always, limited only by our imaginations. View in LinkedIn

HELICOPTER FLOWN BY THOUGHT ALONE. This is a small step from patients movibg robotic limbs but is added to complete the dots. The possibilties between numerious species' brains and machines are at the least, mindblowing. View in LinkedIn

BRAIN HYBRIDS: Ways of knowing are likely different between species. A cockroach will have a different sensate and problem solving set of skills than a baboon or an octopus. A bat and a whale rely on radar signals to inform them of their world. Homing pigeons have some GPS machinery. The household cat has a brain partly dominated by its olfactory system. We are within sight of the first deep understanding of these skills. What if an octopus and a beetle were paired to solve simple problems? Open source begone. NewThink by brain interspecies hybrids is a new and likely zany supercomputer. View in LinkedIn
