Human Brain Cloud Interface

Imagine a future technology that would provide instant access to the world's knowledge and artificial intelligence, simply by thinking about a specific topic or question. Communications, education, work, and the world as we know it would be transformed. Researchers at UC Berkeley and the US Institute for Molecular Manufacturing predicts that exponential progress in nanotechnology, nanomedicine, AI, and computation will lead this century to the development of a 'Human Brain/Cloud Interface' (B/CI), that connects brain cells to vast cloud-computing networks in real time performance.


B/CI technology might also allow us to create a future global superbrain that would connect networks of individual human brains and AIs to enable collective thought. An experimental human BrainNet system has already been tested, enabling thought-driven information exchange via the cloud between individual brains. It used electrical signals recorded through the skull of 'senders' and magnetic stimulation through the skull of 'receivers,' allowing for performing cooperative tasks. With the advance of neuralnanorobotics, we envisage the future creation of superbrains that can harness the thoughts and thinking power of any number of humans and machines in real time.
