Brain – The New AI-powered Search Engine That Wants To Replace Google
Posted by Elmar Arunov in categories: information science, neuroscience, robotics/AI
Brain is the new product from Jerry Yue which is based on Advanced algorithm. According to Yue, Brain will work as a personal virtual assistant for each user by having users input not just a profile of who they are, but what they do, and what they want to do in the future.

Elon Musk Hints at Advances in ‘Neural Lace’ Brain Hacking Tech
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: Elon Musk, neuroscience
Visionary and sometimes controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk hinted at advances in next-generation brain hacking. Recent research results promise future “neural lace” technology that could enhance our brains and connect them to the cloud.
“Making progress,” said Musk in a tweet, in reply to a query about “neural lace” technologies for augmenting human intelligence.
“Maybe something to announce in a few months.”

Researchers identify new mechanisms by which new neurons sharpen memories
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
When it comes to the billions of neurons in your brain, what you see at birth is what get—except in the hippocampus. Buried deep underneath the folds of the cerebral cortex, neural stem cells in the hippocampus continue to generate new neurons, inciting a struggle between new and old as the new attempts to gain a foothold in memory-forming center of the brain.
In a study published online in Neuron, Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT in collaboration with an international team of scientists found they could bias the competition in favor of the newly generated neurons.
“The hippocampus allows us to form new memories of ‘what, when and where’ that help us navigate our lives,” said HSCI Principal Faculty member and the study’s corresponding author, Amar Sahay, PhD, “and neurogenesis—the generation of new neurons from stem cells—is critical for keeping similar memories separate.”

What Mind-Controlled Drones Mean for the Future of Digital Marketing
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, drones, finance, government, neuroscience, robotics/AI, wearables
Luv this article because it hits a very important topic of how will things change with BMI/ mind control technology in general. For example with BMI will we need wearable devices? if so, what type and why? Also, how will banking, healthcare, businesses, hospitality, transportation, media and entertainment, communications, government, etc. in general will change with BMI and AI together? And, don’t forget cell circuitry, and DNA storage and processing capabilities that have been proven to date and advancing.
When you take into account what we are doing with synthetic biology, BMI, AI, and QC; we are definitely going to see some very amazing things just within the next 10 years alone.

Brain hi-jacking could become a reality soon, warn researchers
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: biotech/medical, cybercrime/malcode, neuroscience
A very old story and one that myself and others have raised many times. However, worth repeating due to the current advancements in BMI.
A vulnerability of brain implants to cyber-security attacks could make “brainjacking”, which has been discussed in science fiction for decades, a reality, say researchers from the University of Oxford. Writing in The Conversation, an Australia-based non-profit media, Laurie Pycroft discussed brain implants as a new frontier of security threat.
The most common type of brain implant is the deep brain stimulation (DBS) system. It consists of implanted electrodes positioned deep inside the brain connected to wires running under the skin, which carry signals from an implanted stimulator.

Brain Cancer Cell Line Used In Research Faces Identity Crisis
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension, neuroscience
Glad this discovery has been found; however, sad to hear as well. Sharing for my friends involved with anti-aging (Alex) and others work on the cancer cure.
Genetic signature of the brain cancer cell lines used for research is different from the original patient tumor cells.
