BACTERIAL SIGNAL INTERFERENCE. "There are also examples of interference, in which microbes and host organisms release signaling inhibitors or actively degrade bacterial signal molecules." http://jb.asm.org/content/187/16/5507.full View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX COMMUNICATION OF BACTERIA. "Although the fundamental mechanisms for sensing and responding to signal molecules can be relatively simple, the potential complexity of the signaling networks they control is impressive." http://jb.asm.org/content/187/16/5507.full View in LinkedIn

SIGNAL-NOISE DISCRIMINATION. "Many bacteria that inhabit complex environments experience multiple signals, some quite similar to their own, and thus they must discriminate between true signals and background noise." http://jb.asm.org/content/187/16/5507.full View in LinkedIn

HOST EAVESDROPPING ON BACTERIA. "In addition to mediating chatter among different bacterial species, signals are clearly exchanged with or intercepted by eukaryotic hosts. Signals originally thought to be dedicated to interbacterial communication can be recognized by eukaryotes, inducing specific responses." http://jb.asm.org/content/187/16/5507.full View in LinkedIn

THE INTERFACE. “Rapid conversion of chemical to electrical signals at the cell membrane is a hallmark of the animal nervous system." Neurotransmitters are Biomolecules that generate an electrical signal, giving the opportunity to digitize the signal using technology. https://lnkd.in/eTM3d8x View in LinkedIn

DOWNLOADING DATA TO THE BRAIN is the subject of the next section. It is one thing to try and analyze brain electrical activity and deduce patterns of thought or intention, daunting enough. It is quite another undertaking to try and concert digital data into a language that wet electrical and chemical neurons can understand. View in LinkedIn

SYN BIO AND BRAIN INTERFACE. “Downloading data directly into the brain. “Could hackers create a ‘computer virus’ that infects the human mind and turn victims into electronic zombies? Creating machine viruses that hack the brain and invade the human mind might sound like science fiction to some, but the real science is rapidly approaching. Synthetic biology—the ability to design artificial life—wedded to the emerging technology of man-machine interfacing creates a combination that is potentially deadly and one more than enough to whet the appetite of criminal hackers.” https://lnkd.in/dEPU6w6 View in LinkedIn

ENHANCED LEARNING. "People from all backgrounds and of all ranges of ability will learn valuable new knowledge and skills more reliably and quickly, whether in school, on the job, or at home." https://lnkd.in/d8zQAx9 View in LinkedIn

HACKING LEARNING. "For the first time, researchers have been able to hack into the process of learning in the brain, using induced brain patterns to create a learned behavior." http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-12/scientists-achieve-matrix-style-subliminal-teaching View in LinkedIn

"FUTURE THERAPIES could decode the brain activity patterns of an athlete or a musician, and use them as a benchmark for teaching another person a new activity." http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-12/scientists-achieve-matrix-style-subliminal-teaching View in LinkedIn
