Nanotechnology, the Brain, and the Future (Hardcover, 2012)

Our brain is the source of everything that makes us human: language, creativity, rationality, emotion, communication, culture, politics. The neuroscienceshave given us, in recent decades, fundamental new insights into how the brain works and what that means for how we see ourselves as individuals and ascommunities. Now - with the help of new advances in nanotechnology - brain science proposes to go further: to study its molecular foundations, to repair brainfunctions, to create mind-machine interfaces, and to enhance human mental capacities in radical ways. This book explores the convergence of these tworevolutionary scientific fields and the implications of this convergence for the future of human societies. In the process, the book offers a significant new approachto technology assessment, one which operates in real-time, alongside the innovation process, to inform the ways in which new fields of science and technologyemerge in, get shaped by, and help shape human societies."
