For all those who long for more of Queen, there is still hope, what about an online archive of Brian May's Brain? It is not impossible, it could become so and soon. Imagine all the incite,THE STORIES, the wealth of musical ideas, and perhaps even visual memory recreations of long lost concert footage that could be viewed in HD!! A CENSORED VERSION WOULD BE AVAILABLE with only access to Queen related Memories. The Ability to Download a Human Brain is Coming Soon Artificial Intelligence Will Impact on Our World in Incredibly Significant Ways but next year at this time, you will find yourself being astonished as you and others use Google to look for information about brain transfers onto hard drives. [2] Sounds incredible, but it's possible, now, and by this time next year, it will be even more developed and further along the path toward your personal use. Such storage will allow future generations to interact with all you know at present. That almost sounds like science fiction, but in truth, it's becoming science fact. Imagine your future children's children being able to actually ask you how you felt about this time you live in, and getting the answer from your virtually represented real brain over a hundred years hence? Questions from your children's children answered from your loving concern, it's a world shaker, isn't it? [3] link |

If we still needed proof that you have a serious mental illness, we have it here. You would be a stalker if you weren't too lazy to get away from your computer. |

whatever you're smoking... i don't want it! but seriously... someone has to decrypt this whole mess, doesn't he ? DL sth is one thing, but understanding how things tend to work quite another. don't believe anything you read. big words - nothing else. remember scientists having written down the complete DNA some ten years ago ? pretty pointless that was up to date, wasn't it ? do we have any cure against cancer, aids or alzheimer-desease ? no we haven't. btw. "serious discussion" ? you kiddin'... |

If we can do this, then anything is possible. |

TOP SCIENTIST PREDICTS BRAIN DOWNLOADS A top scientist claims that it will soon be possible to back up your brain and download yourself into your PC. Bruce Katz, who is a lecturer in artificial intelligence at the University of Sussex in the UK, told H+ magazine that the world is on the cusp of a broad neuro-revolution. He said that neuroengineering is rapidly advancing from perceptual aids such as cochlear implants to devices that will enhance and speed up thought. He said that one day it will be possible to free the mind from its bound state in the body to a 'platform independent existence'. link |

"transferring the mental contents from a human brain into a different substrate, such as a digital, analog, or quantum computer." ‘Mind uploading’ featured in academic journal special issue for first time June 26, 2012 (Credit: iStockphoto) The Special Issue on Mind Uploading (Vol. 4, issue 1, June 2012) of the International Journal of Machine Consciousness, just released, “constitutes a significant milestone in the history of mind uploading research: the first-ever collection of scientific and philosophical papers on the theme of mind uploading,” as Ben Goertzel and Matthew Ikle’ note in the Introduction to this issue. “Mind uploading” is an informal term that refers to transferring the mental contents from a human brain into a different substrate, such as a digital, analog, or quantum computer. It’s also known as “whole brain emulation” and “substrate-independent minds.” link |

In fact, the very concept of this technology is very apt for Queen and musicians in general.It is close to home with the very technology that they employed to capture their music and bring it to us in the first place. After all the very technology of sound recording of music and voices is related to the brains of those behind them, and the sound of their voices and musical skill is just the end result of those hidden genius brain activities. Since the invention of the recording of sound we have been able to enjoy such musical brains outputs, but this idea of mind uploading is the next step beyond anything we (of some of us ) can now imagine . The dawn of this new giant step in technology, Mind uploading. WILL ENABLE public access to the talents of musicians such as Queen, and the public enjoyment of their music IN A WHOLE NEW WAY, NEVER EVEN DREAMED OF BEFORE. |

In Its Image Incorporated is a non-profit corporation that is literally dedicated to saving everyone's lives. Its primary mission is to achieve life extension through the melding of human consciousness with a radically new kind of machine intelligence. Its secondary mission is to demonstrate the plausibility of achieving this profound purpose, and in so doing, fund the organization's main objective of immortality. To attain its goal of preserving human consciousness within machines, our organization is active in the following areas: Raising awareness, through public seminars, of the artificial intelligence technology that promises to be the computational vehicle for immortality. The generation and sale of scientific and philosophical literature to fund immortality research and development. Procurement of government and private grants to further fund immortality research. Youth outreach programs to teach high school students about neural networks, to both fuel scientific career development and to better prepare youth to understand the relevance of these systems to immortality. Open discussion of the philosophical and spiritual repercussions of an AI paradigm that is not only our shelter from death, but perhaps the very blueprint of consciousness throughout the universe. The above is beyond just downloading your mind to a pc hard drive and to me is a bit far fetched. |

Movie Clips Reconstructed From Brain Waves By Stephanie Pappas | LiveScience.com – Thu, Sep 22, 2011 Welcome to the future: Scientists can now peer inside the brain and reconstruct videos of what a person has seen, based only on their brain activity. The reconstructed videos could be seen as a primitive — and somewhat blurry — form of mind reading, though researchers are decades from being able to decode anything as personal as memories or thoughts, if such a thing is even possible. Currently, the mind-reading technique requires powerful magnets, hours of time and millions of seconds of YouTube videos. But in the long term, similar methods could be used to communicate with stroke patients or coma patients living in a "locked-in" state, said study researcher Jack Gallant, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley. "The idea is that they would be able to visualize a movie of what they want to talk about, and you would be able to decode that," Gallant told LiveScience. Decoding the brain Gallant's team has decoded the brain before. In 2008, the researchers reported that they'd developed a computer model that takes in brain activity data from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), compares it to a library of photos, and spits out the photo that the person was most likely looking at when the brain activity measurements were taken. That technique was accurate at picking the right photo nine out of 10 times. But reconstructing video instead of still images is much tougher, Gallant said. That's because fMRI doesn't measure the activity of brain cells directly; it measures blood flow to active areas of the brain. This blood flow happens much more slowly than the zippy communication of the billions of neurons in the brain. [Inside the Brain: A Journey Through Time] link |

Just think soon it could be possible with Brian and Rogers consent to watch a full hd blu ray of their entire first Japanese tour through reconstructed quality hd recordings from their visual memories. Obviously if this could happen we would see Freddie in Japan relaxing and such like off tour. I find it very interesting that the above article does not say the video they managed to create was made up of the test subjects imaginations , but they seem to suggest it was an exact copy of the actual images that had been seen through the test subjects own eyes! but of course the above article relies on a computer already having access to the very same images the test subjects viewed. But in the case of a coma patient that they mention, this does indeed get into the area of direct access to memory mind and imagination. And i don't see why they don't say that. For obviously any computer used on a coma patient will not have access to the coma patients visual past, and the coma patient will not be using their eyes because they are asleep. Reminds me of comfortably Numb By Pink Floyd reading a coma patients mind and transferring any information received to a video for the relatives to watch. it is amazing! link Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? |
