More to the brain than meets the eye?

This is an interesting article on the possibility that our brains see into the future. If the study isn't tainted in some way then it seems to be the case.

Our cognitive future

After watching the boy with the incredible brain I started to delve deeper into the realm of brains and intelligence. I came across some interesting articles on brain enhancement research and it kind of shocked me. I knew that there was some research on intelligence and memory in the brain but I didn't realize that they had actually found the genes involved with memory in mice. If those are the same in humans then we could actually improve our memories with a little genetic tweak. The world woul… Continue

We are all transhumanists

Being that this is my first post I suppose I should set out to explain my posting style which is more of a free flow of ideas than any coherent discussion of a particular idea. This sadly stems from my chronic ADHD which I have suffered from my entire life. So if it seems like I jump around quit a bit and sometimes come back to ideas I already covered earlier that would be why. With that in mind...
