The document discusses the possibility of an upcoming technological singularity brought about by accelerating progress in artificial intelligence and other technologies. It explores ideas like merging with AI, extending the human lifespan indefinitely, and uploading human consciousness to computers. Experts believe major advances in areas like mind mapping, brain emulation, nanotechnology and quantum computing could allow humanity to transcend its biological limitations in the coming decades. However, the full implications of reaching a singularity are unknown and some view the predictions as science fiction. The document examines initiatives like the BRAIN project that aim to advance neuroscience and better understand the human mind.

Faith Popcorn's BrainReserve released new research on Augmented Humanity and the shift towards commercial-grade tech that will expand our physical and mental capabilities as never before.
This presentation lists some brain-computer interface technologies that exist today and that could be attainable in future. At the end, philosophical comments about this kind of technology and transhumanism are purposed, in order to reveal the key difference between a humain brain and artificial intelligence.
Transhumanism is the belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations by means of science and technology. The more we explored this subject, the more we got fascinated to see how people are riding on the current era technologies to surpass the capabilities of human body. If the current explorations in transhumanism are anything to go by, then, we believe the future will be very exciting!
In this report we explore the various technologies, people involved and the advancements made in the field of Transhumanism. We would love to hear your feedback, comments and suggestions. Please mail us at ice@humanfactors.com

In this chapter, we take bold step and propose the unthinkable: The genesis of a Customizable Mind Machine.
Thought that stems from the mind is deeply seated in a biological framework of neurons. The biological origin lies
in the marvel of evolution over the eons and refined ever so fast, faster than in the prior centuries. Three (a, b and
c), triadic objects are ceaselessly at work. At a personal level (a) Mind, knowledge and machines have been
intertwined like inspiration, words and language since the dawn of the human evolution and more recently (b)
technology, manufacturing and economics have formed a web for (c) wealth, global marketing and insatiable needs
of humans and civilization. These triadic cycles of nine essential objects of human existence are spinning quicker
and quicker every year. The Internet offers the mind no choice but to leap and soar over history and over the globe.
Alternatively, human mind can sink deeper and deeper into ignorance and oblivion. More recently, the Artificial
Intelligence at work in the Internet had challenged the natural intelligence at the cognizance level in the mind to find
its way to breakthroughs and innovations.
We integrate functions of the mind with the processing of knowledge in the hardware of machines by freely
traversing the neural, mental, physical, psychological, social, knowledge, and computational spaces. The laws of
neural biology and mind, laws of knowledge and social sciences and finally the laws of physics and mechanics, in
each of the spaces are unique and executed by distinctive processors for each space. Much as mind rules over
matter, the triad of mind, space and time creates a human-space that rules over the Relativistic-space of matter,
space and time.

6. Hi Steve this is Ray Kurzweil- I wanna tell you about our
future. I estimate that by around 2045 we will have
expanded our own intelligence a billion fold by merging
with the artificial intelligence we’re creating
That’s such a profound transformation for human
civilization that we borrow this metaphor from physics
and we call it ‘Singularity’
In about 15 years we’ll get to a point where we’ll be
adding more time than is going by, indefinitely
extending life
There will be a hybrid of the biological and non-
biological, but the non-biological part of ourselves will
also be a part of our consciousness

18. “There is no security against the ultimate development of
mechanical consciousness, in the fact of machines possessing little
consciousness now. A mollusc has not much consciousness. Reflect
upon the extraordinary advance which machines have made during
the last few hundred years, and note how slowly the animal and
vegetable kingdoms are advancing. The more highly organized
machines are creatures not so much of yesterday, as of the last five
minutes, so to speak, in comparison with past time.”

“the mysteries of the mind can be solved -- soon. Mental illness,
memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric
signals, and to find them we need to build a supercomputer
that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.”
Henry Markram, Blue Brain

he exponential growth of technology, often referenced to an observation made in 1965 by Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, highlights the fact that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits has continued to double every year since the integrated circuit was invented, a theory dubbed now as ‘Moore’s law’. Moore correctly predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future causing technologists to envisage a not-too-distant time when machines will outgrow humans in terms of intelligence

This is Boltzmann’s formula for the entropy of a macroscopic system of particles, which says that the entropy s is proportional to the logarithm of the number N of microscopic states consistent with that macroscopic state. The constant kB is there to get the units right.
