Download The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind AudioBook Free
The New York Times best-selling author of Physics of the Impossible, Physics of the Future and Hyperspace tackles the most attractive and complex subject in the known world: the human brain. For the first time ever sold, the secrets of the living brain are being uncovered by a battery pack of high-tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once entirely the province of knowledge fiction has become a startling reality. Recording thoughts, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, head control, avatars, and telekinesis aren't only possible; they already can be found. The Future of the Mind provides us an authoritative and engaging look at the astonishing research being done in top laboratories throughout the world - all predicated on the latest developments in neuroscience and physics. One day we would have a "smart pill" that can enhance our cognition; have the ability to publish our brain to your computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and feelings throughout the world on the "brain-net"; control pcs and robots with our mind; push the very boundaries of immortality; as well as perhaps even send our awareness across the world. Dr. Kaku calls for us on the grand tour of what the near future might hold, supplying us not only a solid sense of the way the brain functions but also how these technologies will change our day to day lives. He even reveals a radically new way to think about "consciousness" and can be applied it to provide fresh information into mental disease, artificial intelligence and alien awareness. With Dr. Kaku's deep knowledge of modern knowledge and keen attention for future innovations, The Future of the Mind is a clinical tour de force - a fantastic, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience.
