December 15, 2006 at 00:20Neuro Interface: Some Thoughts
The neurointerface, and even directly working with human memory, is not such a big problem, as it turns out ... steel flugenhende gave us an idea!
We are on the web. And this process, whatever one may say, is moving more and more towards increasing the flow of information, and also involves more and more people. I am not inclined to say here that “we will all be in the virtual and life will disappear!”, In my opinion, this is absolute nonsense. Virtualization is only partially possible - at least as long asnanotechnology will not learn to instantly produce complex structures such as the human body, and machines will not be able to transfer the mind. I think this is still very far away.
Here are some things to think about: working with memory.
And one more thing : the electronic hippocampus.
More info on false memories .
Excerpts:
- "... the scientists managed to erase long-term memories in rats, simultaneously receiving a lot of information about what changes occurred in the brain.
... they learned to suppress the connections of synapses connecting brain neurons with an injection of a chemical called ZIP.
Trained to avoid the dangerous (electric shock) place of the rat after the injection, they forgot about their skill. However, this “erasure” did not in any way affect the functioning of their short-term memory, and, in addition, did not interfere with the formation of long-term memories in the future. Only past memories were deleted "...
- ... Drawing an analogy with a computer, we can say that the hippocampus is the north and south bridge microcircuits, as well as their data buses connecting the central processor, operational and read-only memory.
Theodore Berger), director of the Center for Neural Engineering of the University of Southern California ....... intends to create a microchip that ... could act as a hippocampus.
... the computer was able to calculate all the mathematical functions that the rat hippocampus performed with neurosignals.
According to the authors, this is the key to all memory. They created a microcircuit that reproduced the rat hippocampus with an accuracy of 95%.
In fact, the team came close to the next stage of the experiment - the introduction of the electronic hippocampus to live rats.
-... Two versions of the site were shown to two groups of respondents ... On one site were static photographs, and on the other there was an interactive demonstration that allowed us to rotate the camera from all sides. After that, the “experimental” was asked to indicate which of the ten functions listed had the camera. Among the answer options offered seven real and three "false", that is, nonexistent, functions. So, the user group that worked with the interactive picture, much more often called these "fake" details. That is, in their eyes the camera had more functionality than in reality.
The explanation may lie in the fact that the interactive has a stronger effect on the imagination and involves more areas of the brain, due to which there is a "noise" in the form of false memories.
But, nevertheless, virtualization is moving faster. For example, soon it will be possible to get rid of wires completely. You can find out about it here :
... Google recently introduced a special mobile version of Google Maps with reduced traffic consumption and a special kilobyte counter in real time.
... About the same thing other creators of Web 2.0 services will have to do if they want to reach the billionth army of mobile phone owners.
One of the options for switching to the mobile platform is a partial abandonment of the universal browser, and instead of it the release of special client software
... According to experts, in the very near future many owners of Web 2.0 services will wake up interest in mobile users, and we will see significant progress in this direction . Perhaps even brand-new Web 2.0 services will appear that will take advantage of mobile devices, for example, location information, as well as the constant presence of the device next to the user 24 hours a day. Maybe it will already be Web 3.0?
When we get rid of the wires, many providers will collapse. But this process is logical. And I think that the further we move in the direction of the wireless infosphere, the cheaper the traffic. As an example, you can look at the Internet: at the dawn of its formation, a simple modem cost half a thousand dollars, and a megabyte of traffic could pull up to 3-5 dollars.
True, they consumed it much less.
Now they often sell unlimited: that is, the unit cost is getting closer to zero. I can even download 512 kilobits round the clock. This is 512 kbit * 86400 * 30 = 165 888 million bytes, or 154.5 GB! In the limit, of course.
For a month I pay 750 rubles. What do we see? We see about 5 rubles per gigabyte.
And it was - at current prices - 133,120. The price drop is 26 thousand times !!!
It will be the same with mobile traffic - as soon as 3.5 G starts ... And the infrastructure update is already on the way slowly.
So, we will be digitized.
The society will be very interesting ... You can’t lie (the lies tracking systems can easily track this business), but it’s easy to share fake memories!
Very interesting ... Indeed, it looks like F. Dick.
