THERE IS NO NEED to continue to chronicle the obvious downsides of enhancement technology in the military. We have come to learn that almost every powerful technology is "dual use technology" and this is the new reality. View in LinkedIn

PHYSICAL BOOSTER. "After four months of using it himself, Heller did 1,000 push-ups on his 60th birthday in April 2003. Soon after, troops from Special Operations Command were trying out the Glove, too." http://www.wired.com/2007/03/bemore/ View in LinkedIn

THE GLOVE. "Grahn and his research partner, biologist Craig Heller, started working on the Glove at Stanford in the late 1990s as part of their research on improving physical performance. Even they were astounded at how well it seemed to work." http://www.wired.com/2007/03/bemore/ View in LinkedIn

BOTTOM-UP. “The same number can take on multiple colors in some synesthetes...or even the visual appearance of textural qualities like metallic and smooth, further suggesting that synesthesia is a bottom-up sensory phenomenon.” https://lnkd.in/dfc7eju View in LinkedIn

STEM CELL PROGRESS "at the basic research level has also been astonishing, and we are already witnessing the translation of NSC science, with several clinical trials ongoing and more in the planning stages."

ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS. “Furthermore, Brang and colleagues recently demonstrated that color area V4 becomes active as early as 110 ms after viewing achromatic letters and numbers, signifying that synesthetic colors follow a similar time-course in the brain as colors evoked from the retina.” https://lnkd.in/dfc7eju View in LinkedIn

SMALL MOLECULES can solve sone molecular problems, such as aberrant pathways, but have no ability to solve structural or more complex problems. Cell therapies and biomolecules can act at a higher level, solving structural deficits and multi-system problems, respectively. Cell therapies like phage therapy also beat single molecule therapies such as antibiotics, which cannot evolve as the target evolves to avoid the therapy. View in LinkedIn

BRAIN DIFFERENCES. “Consistent with this suggestion, a number of studies have demonstrated anatomical differences in the inferior temporal lobe near regions related to grapheme and color processing in synesthetes, including increased fractional anisotropy (reflecting increased white matter or coherence of white matter), and increased gray matter volume; increased connectivity has been found in other forms of synesthesia as well.” https://lnkd.in/dfc7eju View in LinkedIn

PARADIGM SHIFT. " It is an understatement to say that the conceptual advances and practical applications of stem cell research have been game changers for the field of neuroscience." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0896627313009896 View in LinkedIn
