UM-Bot Posted July 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Scientists believe that linking up two brains could help to treat a range of neurological conditions. Unless you happen to be Mr Spock the idea of linking your own mind up to that of another individual might seem absurd, yet scientists at Duke University's Center for Neuroengineering in North Carolina believe that such a feat is not only possible but also potentially highly advantageous.

+ouija ouija Posted July 22, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) The example of theatre audiences synchronising their brains to produce group reactions like crying or laughing at the same time, is, I think, a poor one. Surely people are individually laughing at something because they find it funny .... they are not laughing because other minds are telling them to. However, the example of a group of players working together as a sports team towards a common goal, is good. Although, actually, when I think about it some more, perhaps that is not what is happening after all! Maybe the individuals in the team are simply very focussed on the goal and very aware of what their team-mates are doing at any given moment. Once again the laboratory monkeys are at the sharp end of these experiments Edited July 22, 2015 by ouija ouija Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priorities are all wrong in this world Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I heard something about a battery that was in development that lasts for 20 years.

MJNYC Posted July 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2015 "In a recent experiment a group of monkeys linked together through electrodes implanted in their brains were able to collectively move a virtual arm using a special brain-machine interface." All I see is Dr. Frankenstein. So horrific that today we still research on sentient beings, when there are alternatives. Shame on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundew Posted July 24, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I heard something about a battery that was in development that lasts for 20 years. Yes but it's the size of a VW Microbus and contains 100 pounds of Plutonium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
