The Android Body of the Future, A Practical Application

Today we will speculate on the science of the future - A future where science fiction dreams become reality.

We are all familiar with the life like androids of science fiction - Mechanical versions of biological Man - And most of us are
familiar with the developments in both robotics and mechanical advancements in mechanical assistance to Man through
advanced prosthetics and artificially enhanced organs {ie. lenses for eyes, pacemakers for the heart, etc.} with more on the way.

But what if you have a disease such as ALS where the entire body becomes dysfunctional - What about great minds
hopelessly stuck in an almost vegetative state and yet who still have great and active minds such as the famoue physcist
Stephen Hawking .........

What if we could give him back his physical self as a fully functional Human like android - Him and thousands of others
stricken by diseases that render them physically inactive and condemn them to lives of immobility - Not a good state to be in
is it?

Well I say fellow science dreamers that science fiction dreams can be made manifest - We can become the androids of the future and this will be soon - Soon it will be possible, with advances in computer processing power to copy the entire essence
of the mind to the world of the computer matrix.

And then given a few more years the 'Positronic Brain' {from the sci-fi series 'Star Trek'} will be possible - They are working on that now:

"New software allows for 'decoding digital brain data'"

Summary:
"New software allows for 'decoding digital brain data' to reveal how neural activity gives rise to learning, memory and other cognitive functions. The software can be used in real time during an fMRI brain scan."

"Early this year, about 30 neuroscientists and computer programmers got together to improve their ability to read the human mind.

The hackathon was one of several that researchers from Princeton University and Intel, the largest maker of computer processors, organized to build software that can tell what a person is thinking in real time, while the person is thinking it.

The collaboration between researchers at Princeton and Intel has enabled rapid progress on the ability to decode digital brain data, scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to reveal how neural activity gives rise to learning, memory and other cognitive functions.............."

Now, in real time, it doesn't require that much of a stretch of the imagination to see the 'Positronic' digital brain of the future

• It may happen in your lifetime - But will it be in time for Stephen Hawking and thousands of other like him?

  THE FUTURE IS NOW!!!
