MEMORY PROSTHESIS. "Flip the switch on, and the rats remember. Flip it off, and the rats forget. These integrated experimental modeling studies show for the first time that with sufficient information about the neural coding of memories, a neural prosthesis capable of real-time identification and manipulation of the encoding process can restore and even enhance cognitive mnemonic processes".

DARPA has long funded memory enhancement technology with neural implants. “This would allow us to search our own memories — not just those on the Web — with something like the efficiency and reliability of a computer search engine. How much would you pay to have a small memory chip implanted in your brain if that chip would double the capacity of your short-term memory? Or guarantee that you would never again forget a face or a name?”" " http://lnkd.in/b7evfV7 View in LinkedIn

DARPA seeks live diary. "the central focus of DARPA activities for some time with projects such as LifeLog, which seeks to gain a multimedia, digital record of everywhere a person goes and everything they see, hear, read, say and touch". " " http://lnkd.in/b7evfV7 View in LinkedIn

NEURO-SILICON CHIPS. The chips "also provided the link between ionic channels of the neurons and semiconductor material in a way that neural electrical signals could be passed to the silicon chip. The proteins allowed the neuro-chip's electronic components and its living cells to communicate with each other. Electrical signals from neurons were recorded using the chip's transistors, while the chip's capacitors were used to stimulate the neurons". " " http://lnkd.in/b7Mvnx8 View in LinkedIn

NEUROCHIP: "large groups of cells can be placed on the chip and observed in detail, as they go about their business, networking and performing automatic, large-scale drug screening for various brain dysfunctions... could someday lead to neurochip implants for driving artificial limbs, treatments for strokes and brain trauma....the possibility that living neurons could be combined with silicon circuits to create an "organic computer.""

LIVER BUDS SELF-ASSEMBLE. "Self-organizing structures from stem cells have also been observed for other organ systems, such as the optic cup, an early structure in eye development. And 'mini-guts' have been grown in culture from single human stem cells...the self-organizing approach might also be applicable to other organs, such as lung, pancreas and kidney".

STEM CELL INITIATIVE for neuromuscular diseases. " use induced pluripotent stem cell technology to create muscle stem cells carrying a healthy copy of the gene that is mutated in human patients with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. She will then assess the ability of the stem cells to engraft and generate new muscle in mice with a form of the disorder. With this award, Stanford has received about $277 M from the stem cell agency". " " http://lnkd.in/bePrVPT View in LinkedIn

ICONIC LEROY HOOD MD PHD. "Hood (is) currently focused on researching and expanding the use of P4 medicine, a way of “integrating biology, technology and computation to create a predictive, personalized, preventive and participatory approach to medicine.” P4 medicine analyzes an individual’s DNA and current health status. He says approaching biology this way could eventually benefit other industries such as agriculture, energy, and environmental protection". " " http://lnkd.in/b8UExGm View in LinkedIn

THE INTERNET OF THINGS. "Equipping all objects in the world with minuscule identifying devices could be transformative of daily life." "One's ability to interact with objects could be altered remotely based on immediate or present needs". Wrap your noggin around these two sentences. " " http://lnkd.in/bijdpjb View in LinkedIn

RFID TAGS or other identifiers are at the heart of the Internet Of Things, the virtual representation of everything. "According to ABI Research more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of Things (Internet of Everything) by 2020. Cisco created a dynamic "connections counter" to track the estimated number of connected things from July 2013 until July 2020". " " http://lnkd.in/bijdpjb View in LinkedIn
