Nanotechnology coming to a brain near you (Nanowerk Spotlight) If you have seen the movie The Matrix then you are familiar with ‘jacking in’ – a brain-machine neural interface that connects a human brain to a computer network. For the time being, this is still a sci-fi scenario, but don’t think that researchers are not […]
The hippocampus of the intact brain (left) receives neural impulses from the environment. The microchip (right), which may be able to help humans build long-term memories, processes the signals from the brain as electrical impulses and sends them back into the hippocampus. In this era of high-tech memory management, next in line to get that […]
MEMO/10/140 Brussels, 20 April 2010 ICT research: EU invests €500 million in Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) to improve people’s lives Developing intelligent artificial hands for hand amputees, neural devices to help people suffering from vertigo, dizziness and other vestibular disorders and the possibility to see how your brain responds while learning are a few […]
By Ben Hirschler NEW YORK | Mon Nov 8, 2010 5:29pm EST NEW YORK (Reuters) – Novartis AG plans to seek regulatory approval within 18 months for a pioneering tablet containing an embedded microchip, bringing the concept of “smart-pill” technology a step closer.

„The EGE strongly supports the vision of a people-centred, inclusive and development oriented Information Society as proclaimed in the Declaration of Principles of the World Summit on the Information Society (Geneva 2003).“ The Member States and their national ethics councils (or corresponding institutions) have a responsibility to create conditions for education and constructive, well-informed debates […]
Någon gång i framtiden kommer det att finnas medvetna maskiner med en intelligens minst lika stor som vår egen. Det är väldigt många forskare från olika ämnesområden överens om. Nanorobotar På många håll i världen bygger forskare pyttesmå maskiner, där beståndsdelarna utgörs av enskilda molekyler. Entusiasterna hoppas att tekniken så småningom ska leda fram till […]
