QUORUM SENSING. "Although quorum sensing has predominantly been studied for single species, there is mounting evidence for multispecies quorum sensing." http://jb.asm.org/content/187/16/5507.full View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL CHATTER is sufficiently sophisticated to create sophisticated swarm behavior called quorum sensing. View in LinkedIn

EVOLVING RESPONSE. "Slime mold responds to external stimuli, so, upon hearing and seeing its own electrical signal, it reacts—creating a new and different electrical pattern. And so the process continues and the sound evolves into a cybernetic slime mold composition." http://singularityhub.com/2015/07/29/the-artist-whos-making-cybernetic-slime-mold-sing/ View in LinkedIn

DOWNLOADING SKILLS. "Study of the Day: Soon, You May Download New Skills to Your Brain. It may someday be possible to use brain technology to learn to play the piano, reduce mental stress, or even master kung fu with little or no conscious effort.“ https://lnkd.in/duN_jZH View in LinkedIn

LISTENING TO ITSELF. "Martin’s project converts the natural electrical signals produced by slime mold into light and sound. But he then takes it one step further by creating a feedback loop. The system gathers the signal, feeds it to an evolutionary algorithm, converts the result into light and sound, then plays it back to the slime mold." http://singularityhub.com/2015/07/29/the-artist-whos-making-cybernetic-slime-mold-sing/ View in LinkedIn

BRAIN CONTROL. "Participants can be trained to control the overall mean activation of an entire brain region...or the activation in one region relative to that in another region." 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

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

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

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
