Our brain is the source of everything that makes us human:
language, creativity, rationality, emotion, communication, culture,
politics. The neurosciences have 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 as communities.
Now - with the help of new advances in nanotechnology - brain
science proposes to go further: to study its molecular foundations,
to repair brain functions, to create mind-machine interfaces, and
to enhance human mental capacities in radical ways. This book
explores the convergence of these two revolutionary scientific
fields and the implications of this convergence for the future of
human societies. In the process, the book offers a significant new
approach to technology assessment, one which operates in real-time,
alongside the innovation process, to inform the ways in which new
fields of science and technology emerge in, get shaped by, and help
shape human societies.
