I'm interested in the ideas that sound a little crazy, such as radical life extension, curing cancer, being able to create a simulation of the human brain and map every neuron.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Neuroscience over the next 50 years is going to introduce things that are mind-blowing.
A meticulous virtual copy of the human brain would enable basic research on brain cells and circuits or computer-based drug trials.
I was always interested in curing the brain.
I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.
Science fiction has these obsessions with certain sciences - large scale engineering, neuroscience.
I was interested in big unknowns, and the brain is one of the biggest, so building tools that allow us to regard the brain as a big electrical circuit appealed to me.
Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored - it's all fascinating.
Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops.
No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Post-human intelligence will develop hypercomputers with the processing power to simulate living things - even entire worlds. Perhaps advanced beings could use hypercomputers to surpass the best 'special effects' in movies or computer games so vastly that they could simulate a world, fully, as complex as the one we perceive ourselves to be in.
