Description
Infinity Science Press Neuroengineering The Future: Virtual Minds And The Creation Of Immortality (Hb 2008) by Katz BF
Describing how the brain works, this book includes an overview of the architecture of the brain. It examines the neural technologies, including devices that read from the brain, and devices that can write information into the brai :We are on the cusp of a broad revolution, one with startling implications for perception, cognition, emotion, and indeed, personal identity. Still in its relative infancy, this rapidly progressing field is poised to move from perceptual aids such as cochlear implants to devices that will enhance and speed up thought to the ultimate goal of researchers, that of downloading the mind from its bound state in the body to a platform-independent existence. This controversial book describes the science that will make these transformations possible.
