Connecting The Brain Directly: More reliable educational and propaganda techniques for affecting human behavior, public and private;
New and possibly pervasive techniques for surveillance, monitoring, and control of individuals and organizations.
In addition to the 100 "very probable" breakthroughs in the next 33 years, the Hudson Institute scientists have also listed a set of developments described as "far out" but still within the realm of possibility by the year 2000:
Establishment of bases on the moon or planets; Increase of human mental capacity by connecting the brain directly to a computer;
Lifetime immunization against practically all diseases; Life expectancy well beyond 100 years.
Among the most interesting developments in brain studies was a finding that corrected the long-held conviction that glucose was the only fuel the brain was capable of using. George Cahill studied brain metabolism in persons who fasted for more than 30 days as part of a weight reduction program. By sampling blood entering and leaving the head, he was able to show that during fasting the brain will readily metaboŽlize fatty acids, the breakdown products from deposits of body fat. Careful intelligence tests before and after the fast failed to show any mental impairment during the period of fasting. Cahill said that in fact the subjects were at least as sharp after fasting, and maybe a bit sharper.See Also Icugh The Brain Is Negative:Because of occasional severe reactions to Pas-eur .treatment, vaccine should not be given indis-riminately. However, reactions to the Pasteur reatment should deter no one from recom-nending treatment in proper cases. For persons :nown to be scratched or bitten, vaccine treatment hould be started immediately, (1) when the ani-lal is apprehended and presents clinical Signs of abies; (2) when the animal is killed and the rain is found positive for rabies by microscopic xamination; (3) when the animal is killed and, icugh the brain is negative by microscopic exam-lation, the animal is suspected of being rabid; id (4) when a person is injured by a stray ani-lal that escaped or by one that cannot be identi-sd.
1. If new medical techniques can prolong a healthy life far beyond the present span, who will be selected to remain alive? Society, through law, probably will not leave it to the workings of the marketplace or the caprice of physicians. At the very least, it will try to prevent a black market in hearts and lungs. But if science manages to transplant a human brain, the law will be in serious trouble. Which individual will be conŽsidered legally "alive"the one into whose functioning body the new brain has been deposited, or the one whose brain with all its memories has merely moved to a new home?
On The Other Hand See Universal Brain Reminding:In the present city, three sights stand out from others, the hilltop Castle, scene of many historic happenings, the venerable UniŽversity, with its rich library (called Carolina Rediviva) and the 15th-century brick Cathedral, which is the seat of the primate of the Swedish Lutheran State Church. In this cathedral lies the bodies of many famous persons, royal and otherwise. They include St. Erik and his three queens, Linnaeus, the founder of modern systematic botany, and Emanuel Sweden-borg, a man of universal brain reminding brain (reminding us in many ways of Leonardo da Vinci) who became, finally, a Christian mystic and left his doctrine to the Swedenborgian sect, called the New Church.
A relief for migraine was develŽoped in Australia by J. W. Lance and his associŽates. A drug called hydantoin was used to increase electrical activity in brain cells and thereby improve hearing and memory in the aged. The first successful attempt to sustain an animal brain outside a living body was reported in Cleveland, O.
Work in gerontology included studies to deŽtermine the time of onset, the persistence, and the permanence of changes in the body. |
