Nanomedical Brain/Cloud Interface: Explorations and Implications Explorations and implications

This book explores the future hypothetical possibility that the cerebral cortex of the human brain might be seamlessly, safely, and securely connected with the Cloud via a Brain/Cloud Interface (B/CI). Such an envisaged nanomedically facilitated cognitive augmentation may consist of a highly integrated network of sophisticated autonomous neuralnanorobotic devices coupled with advanced AI toward the enablement of instantaneous and finely controllable connectivity with the Virtual Cloud. In conjunction with a description of some technical aspects of a B/CI, this book also delves into its ethical, moral, sociological, legal, and philosophical implications. A fully developed, ubiquitously techtrust-accepted and implemented B/CI, may emerge as nothing less than the next evolutionary step for humanity, where we seamlessly merge with our technologies.Key features: * Descriptions of how neuralnanorobotics may facilitate a B/CI. * Discussions of state-of-the-art technologies in brain/machine and brain/computer interfaces. * In depth assessment of a broad array of potential implications of ubiquitous B/CI's on humanity. * Introduction of what might emerge as an unprecedented and powerful application of a B/CI, referred to as "Transparent Shadowing". * Recommendations toward the establishment of prudent development and regulatory policies toward a safe, secure, optimized, and positive B/CI technology/infrastructure for the benefit of humanity and the planet.
