AMPLIFICATION. “Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): recent clinical applications in otherwise “healthy people” are widening. These include enhancing attention and vigilance, motor learning and various methods to “… improve attention, perception, memory and other forms of cognition…” https://lnkd.in/dAifP-w View in LinkedIn

BRAIN UPGRADES. “The results show that nature has apparently designed the adult mammalian brain with the possibility of upgrades." No compromise of other senses in rats with visual implant. https://lnkd.in/d45-hdu View in LinkedIn

ENHANCED HUMANS. “Technological augmentation of so-called “normal” human function moves us away from the functional limitations of our species and closer to “super” human function.” https://lnkd.in/dAifP-w View in LinkedIn

SEEING IN THE DARK. “Rats learn to sense infrared in hours thanks to brain implants. Rat brains quickly adapted to use data from four infrared sensors, allowing them to "see" in the dark and paving the way for augmenting the human brain." (Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University School of Medicine). https://lnkd.in/d45-hdu View in LinkedIn

AMPLIFIED BRAINS. “Future think: cautiously optimistic about brain augmentation using tissue engineering and machine interface...technologies used for brain augmentation in restoration can also amplify the range of human abilities in those without pathology.” https://lnkd.in/dAifP-w View in LinkedIn

TWO WAY. “Connecting a machine so the human operator can access the functional capacity of the machine also allows the machine access to the functional capacity of the human.” https://lnkd.in/eB--UFz View in LinkedIn

TELEPATHY. “The distant “decoder rat” was taught by the neural traffic generated by the initial activity of the “encoder rat” and relayed by the direct brain-to-brain coupling afforded in this novel “artificial communication channel”. This shows that rats linked through brain-to-brain electrode arrays could learn complex, cooperative, goal-directed behaviors.” https://lnkd.in/eB--UFz View in LinkedIn

ELECTRIC TELEPATHY. “In this compelling research, two rats had electrode arrays implanted into the sensorimotor areas. One rat served as an “encoder” of sensorimotor information during performance of either a tactile or visual task. The cortical activity generated in the brain of the “encoder rat” was monitored and then relayed to a second “receiving” or “decoder” rat, located in a distant laboratory.” https://lnkd.in/eB--UFz View in LinkedIn

EXTENSION. “Brain-machine interface concepts could be extended to brain-to-brain interfaces for shared information processing.” https://lnkd.in/eB--UFz View in LinkedIn
