Imagine. A world where a math coprocessor is embedded in your skull to help you in crunching numbers. Where an inhibitor is interfaced with your mind to diminish activity in the parietal lobe and hence blur the boundary between your inside and your outside and thus trigger mystical unitive experiences on whim. Where silicon and carbon based intelligence coinhabit and coevolve. Where the desire to go back to a simplistic past grows stronger with each passing day.
This world is waiting in the near future. Are we ready to inhabit it?
Never born. Will never die.
Renting this body named MAYUResh from 1979 - 2029.

Quantifying consciousness via neural processes
Sometime in the next decade or so, neuroscientists will likely identify the specific neural networks and activity that generate the vague but vital thing we call consciousness.

Direct to Brain technology?
For the life of me I cant figure out if this is meant to be a joke or what?
Sony recently obtained a patent on direct to brain transfer technology..

Fears of nanotech date back at least to 1986, with the publication of Eric Drexler's cautionary classic, Engines of Creation, and its talk of a potential "gray goo" catastrophe brought on by millions of uncontrolled, destructive microscopic machines that chew through the environment.

You walk into a Chinese restaurant and your phone buzzes. It's a blog post from a friend with a simple message: Avoid the duck. This is one vision of future blogging from Qualcomm CEO-elect Paul Jacobs, who just stopped by our office. (He's the one on the left in the photo).
This new type of posting is linked to a certain location. It's called a Crunkie. The idea is that you can leave location-based posts in certain places for your friends. And they pop up when your friends appear.

Let your cell phone think for you
Dr. Neven will showcase visual mobile search technology based on the company's patented Mobile-i(TM) recognition engines. The technology enables mobile camera phones to intelligently search the internet or information databases by simply snapping photos. The company's visual mobile search effectively extends the footprint of merchants, advertisers, and internet content providers, allowing users to capture pictures of products, places, and logos, etc., and within seconds, receive relevant content to their phone. Used to find movie times, buy tickets, lookup restaurant reviews, or download coupons, visual mobile search is the next vehicle for consumer wireless searching.

An effort to create the first computer simulation of the entire human brain, right down to the molecular level, was launched on Monday.
The “Blue Brain” project, a collaboration between IBM and a Swiss university team, will involve building a custom-made supercomputer based on IBM’s Blue Gene design.
The hope is that the virtual brain will help shed light on some aspects of human cognition, such as perception, memory and perhaps even consciousness.

We have developed AgentCell, a model using agent-based technology to study the relationship between stochastic intracellular processes and behavior of individual cells. As a test-bed for our approach we use bacterial chemotaxis, one of the best-characterized biological systems. In this model, each bacterium is an agent equipped with its own chemotaxis network, motors and flagella. Swimming cells are free to move in a 3D environment. Digital chemotaxis assays reproduce experimental data obtained from both single cells and bacterial populations.
