Human Brain/Cloud Interface

Read the free paper “Human Brain/Cloud Interface” at https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10...112/full

This paper is by our Amara D. Angelica, Frank J. Boehm, Robert A. Freitas Jr., Steven A. Garan, Tad Hogg, Nuno R. B. Martins, Yuriy Svidinenko, and Melanie Swan.

This paper describes how neuralnanorobotics may enable a B/CI with controlled connectivity between neural activity and external data storage and processing, via the direct monitoring of the brain’s ~86 x 10⁹ neurons and ~2 x 10¹⁴ synapses.

Barbara Marx Hubbard

Our Barbara Marx Hubbard, beloved author and visionary, has passed away. She worked to the end of her life to “Safeguard Humanity”. Read a quote from her at https://lifeboat.com/ex/quotes#hubbard

Buckminster Fuller said, “There is no doubt in my mind that Barbara Marx Hubbard — who helped introduce the concept of futurism to society — is the best informed human now alive regarding futurism and the foresights it has produced.”
