BRAIN ENHANCEMENT. "Most folks put away text between 200-250 words-per-minute (wpm). Kwik fires through heavy technical tomes at about 500 wpm; he devours light fiction at upwards of 1300 wpm. And he can remember what he reads.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/stevenkotler/2013/06/02/learning-to-learn-faster-the-one-superpower-everyone-needs/#6a8c87526a28 View in LinkedIn

MALLEABLE MEMORIES. “Roberto Malinow, professor of neurosciences, said: ‘We can form a memory, erase that memory and we can reactivate it, at will, by applying a stimulus that selectively strengthens or weakens synaptic connections.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2645740/How-flash-light-delete-bad-memories-Breakthrough-help-dementia-patients.html View in LinkedIn

THE MERGER. “Each brain cell grows small branches across the chip surface, searching for life. When a branch picks up an electrical signal from another nerve cell, it forms a connection or synapse. The same happens if it picks up a signal from the surface of the chip. So your brain is programmed to recognise and install such devices automatically, though bio-software may need to be developed.” http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2015/12/ideas-bank/patrick-dixon-wear-chip-brain View in LinkedIn

NORMALIZED CYBERNETICS. “More than 400,000 human beings already have a digital device inside their heads, with more than 50,000 new surgical operations taking place every year. Most of these devices are connected to the auditory nerve as cochlear implants, to treat deafness, and a few to the optic nerve or the retina.” http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2015/12/ideas-bank/patrick-dixon-wear-chip-brain View in LinkedIn
