Premessa
... e se questa “macchina” la
usassero quelli che amministrano il turismo nazionale?
Il pezzo
Scientists from Boston University are developing a
“Matrix like” technology that will let us upload/download skills directly into
our brain.
Learning a martial art, how to fly a plane or how to speak a new
language without even being awake is set to become a reality, say researchers. ... and tourism knowledge base?
Scientists at Boston University and ATR
Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto , Japan , believe that in
the future learning a new skill might involve nothing more than sitting in
front of a computer screen and waiting for it to ‘upload’.
They have been
studying how a functional magnetic resonance machine (FMRI) can ‘induce’
knowledge in someone through their visual cortex by sending signals that change
their brain activity pattern.
This process is
called Decoded Neurofeedback, or ‘DecNef’.
No medication is
needed and the subject doesn’t even have to be awake, he or she simply has
their brain activity changed to a ‘target’ pattern, which could be anything
from that of a star footballer to a master chess player.
Lead author Takeo Watanabe from the University of Boston said: ‘Adult early visual areas are sufficiently plastic to cause visual
perceptual learning.’ The
researchers knew their technique had worked because the FMRI volunteers all
underwent visual skill tests and had their results compared with those of
people not given the treatment – and the former had far better scores.
P. S.: Fantascienza?
