MONKEY-ROBOT. "My colleague Will Oremus reported on Slate in 2013 about a rhesus macaque named Oscar who was controlling the movements of a digital ball on a computer screen through a brain-computer interface." http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/09/15/progress_on_a_brain_computer_interface_darpa_project.html View in LinkedIn

SENSATE ROBOTIC HAND. "Sanchez's project uses a brain-computer interface to allow paralysis patients to nimbly manipulate a robotic arm and hand with their minds, moving it in 3-D space, shaking hands, fist bumping, etc. "Sensors on the robotic hand's fingertips measure forces and convert them into electrical signals that go to Nathan's brain and allow him to feel." http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/09/15/progress_on_a_brain_computer_interface_darpa_project.html View in LinkedIn

MACHINE SYMBIOSIS. “Musk described neural lace as a brain-computer system that would connect human brain with a computer interface. It would supposedly enable humans to achieve “symbiosis with machines”, allowing them to communicate with computers without the need for a physical interface. A neural lace will theoretically prevent humans from becoming AI ‘house cats’ by helping humans keep pace with advances in AI.” https://lnkd.in/d98S_7K View in LinkedIn

SMART DUST. "Michel Maharbiz and Jose Carmena and their colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley...are developing a wireless brain interface that they call "neural dust." Thousands of biologically neutral microsensors, on the order of one-tenth of a millimeter (approximately the thickness of a human hair), would convert electrical signals into ultrasound that could be read outside the brain." http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn

CUMULATIVE EFFECT. “Although chimpanzees’ nut-cracking or dolphins’ use of protective nose-sponges does not seem to exceed what a lone chimpanzee or dolphin could invent alone, it is surely impossible for a single human to have discovered quantum mechanics, invented smartphones, visited the moon, or achieved any of the other feats that require standing on the shoulders of previous generations.” http://www.pnas.org/content/114/30/7853.full View in LinkedIn

CULTURE EXTENDS GENETIC EVOLUTION. “This research shows the extent to which culture extends genetic evolution by independently tracking environmental change that is too rapid for genes to track, by generating diverse cultural adaptations to those environmental challenges, and by driving genetic evolution.” http://www.pnas.org/content/114/30/7853.full View in LinkedIn

INTERACTING SYSTEMS. “Gene–culture coevolution models and data have examined how cultural evolution interacts with and affects genetic evolution. There is extensive evidence for culture-driven genetic change in humans, including agriculture-induced genetic adaptations for digesting starch, dairy products, and alcohol.” http://www.pnas.org/content/114/30/7853.full View in LinkedIn

ENHANCEMENTS. "What would you give for a retinal chip that let you see in the dark or for a next-generation cochlear implant that let you hear any conversation in a noisy restaurant, no matter how loud? Or for a memory chip, wired directly into your brain's hippocampus, that gave you perfect recall of everything you read?" http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304914904579435592981780528 View in LinkedIn
