Transumanismul, viitoarea etapa a civilizatiei umane

In research thought to be a world first, biomedical engineers at Wits are connecting a human brain to the internet in real time.
The 'Brainternet' project streams brainwaves onto the internet. Essentially, it turns the brain into an Internet of Things (IoT) node on the World Wide Web. IoT refers to connecting any device with an on and off switch to the internet.
Brainternet is the brainchild of Adam Pantanowitz, a lecturer in the Wits School of Electrical and Information Engineering, who supervised fourth-years Jemma-Faye Chait and Danielle Winter in its development.
"Brainternet is a new frontier in brain-computer interface systems. There is a lack of easily understood data about how a human brain works and processes information. Brainternet seeks to simplify a person's understanding of their own brain and the brains of others. It does this through continuous monitoring of brain activity as well as enabling some interactivity," explains Pantanowitz.
Brainternet works by converting electroencephalogram (EEG) signals (brain waves) in an open source brain live stream. A person wears a powered, mobile, internet accessible Emotiv EEG device for an extended period. During this time, the Emotiv transmits the EEG signals to a Raspberry Pi – a credit card sized little computer - live streams the signals to an application programming interface (code that allows software programmes to communicate), and displays data on a website that acts as a portal. This is currently an open website where the public can observe the individual's brain activity.

Chiar daca poate nu o sa apucam transumanismul nu iti garantez ca dincolo te asteapta concepte biblice si zeul pe care il imaginezi.

Exista o multime de posibilitati, dar tu poti crede orice.

Scrie undeva ca sa tii minte: transumanismul nu se va intampla niciodata. Spun asta pentru ca sunt crestin si deci cred ce spune in Biblie.
Potrivit Bibliei, moartea fizica are ca si cauza "cancerul spiritual" care este pacatul; este consecinta lui si nu exista alta rezolvare a problemei decat la Dumnezeu. A realiza transumanismul ar insemna sa confirmi ca Biblia e o minciuna ... iar asta nu se va intampla niciodata.

Totusi, nu e recomandat sa crezi chiar orice...

Dar chestiile din Biblie nu mai sunt crezute de demult de majoritatea oamenilor de stiinta cu greutate. In fine...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a superconducting switch that “learns” like a biological system and could connect processors and store memories in future computers operating like the human brain.
The NIST switch, described in Science Advances (link is external), is called a synapse, like its biological counterpart, and it supplies a missing piece for so-called neuromorphic computers. Envisioned as a new type of artificial intelligence, such computers could boost perception and decision-making for applications such as self-driving cars and cancer diagnosis.
A synapse is a connection or switch between two brain cells. NIST’s artificial synapse—a squat metallic cylinder 10 micrometers in diameter—is like the real thing because it can process incoming electrical spikes to customize spiking output signals. This processing is based on a flexible internal design that can be tuned by experience or its environment. The more firing between cells or processors, the stronger the connection. Both the real and artificial synapses can thus maintain old circuits and create new ones.
Even better than the real thing, the NIST synapse can fire much faster than the human brain—1 billion times per second, compared to a brain cell’s 50 times per second—using just a whiff of energy, about one ten-thousandth as much as a human synapse. In technical terms, the spiking energy is less than 1 attojoule, lower than the background energy at room temperature and on a par with the chemical energy bonding two atoms in a molecule.
