Common design goals for neurotechnologies include using neural activity readings to control external devices such as [[neuroprosthetics]], altering neural activity via [[neuromodulation]] to repair or normalize function affected by [[neurological disorders]], or [[augmenting cognitive abilities]]. In addition to their therapeutic or commercial uses, neurotechnologies also constitute powerful research tools to advance fundamental [[neuroscience]] knowledge. ## Main resources - [Neurotechnology - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotechnology) <iframe src="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotechnology" allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen="" style="height:100%;width:100%; aspect-ratio: 16 / 5; "></iframe> ## Landscapes - [[Human intelligence amplification]] ## Brain storming - We will need human intelligence augmentation to catch up with exponentially increasing machine intelligence - [[Images/c350ee124d5dd405ee4cd33ae065dbfe_MD5.jpeg|Open: Pasted image 20240917190109.png]] ![[Images/c350ee124d5dd405ee4cd33ae065dbfe_MD5.jpeg]] I want to upgrade wellbeing genes to eradicate unnecessary suffering and intelligence genes to (not only) make sure biological intelligence catches up to artificial intelligence and to accelerate STEM and chances of smarter decision making about our future (and possibly editing some evolutionary biases too that made us relatively intelligent in the past but less now).
