Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

About Me

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

A Flash of Inspiration

DARPA is researching how electrical brain stimulation by non-invasive means can assist in learning. Those receiving the full stimulation improved twice as fast in a skills-learning test than those who did not, which suggests that the impact of this technology could prove considerable. Research continues at the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation.

An important follow up to this study might be to find out what techniques and technologies work synergistically with it, and if a regimen combining the most ideal set could be developed for public use.
