Future of Neuroscience with Various Fields of Its Application
How does it sound when I say that you can browse on the internet by just
thinking of it or you can download a file in the memory directly attached to
your brain which you can access anytime anywhere. If you are thinking that
this can happen only in dreams then you are probably wrong. Research in the
sector related to our brain (Neural Research) has been gaining concentration
as the technology is advancing in the field of AI (Artificial
Intelligence).
The time is not far when all these concepts would become reality for entire
mankind when most of our work will be done by a few electric signals that are
our thought. There Is a pattern in which electric signals are generated and
transferred in our brain during a particular thought between two neurons in a
very complex structure of neurons. If it becomes possible to capture these
patterns for thought which is generating it then the way of doing our work
will be revolutionized.
As technology is involved there is a positive and negative side of
it. Let us see
It can be a boon
For mentally challenged
This could be a miracle for mentally challenged people as this gives a pathway
for the patient to easily communicate with the surrounding. Different devices
like EEG(Electroencephalography) could analyse the brainwave and give an
output to the computer so that they can type on the screen with the help of
their thought.
For physically challenged
Robotic arms which made artificially can be linked to the nervous system
which can send and receive signals from the brain. This can work together with
BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) and can help the planted robotic arm to work
efficiently in coordination with other parts of the body.
There is also the possibility that even healthy people smart installing
robotic arms as it highly increases the physical capabilities of the body.
Gaming world
It can also revolutionize the concept of gaming as it can create a gaming
environment according to the need of the person. It can detect the moves which
thrill and excite the gamer and can create new models accordingly where gamers
feel as if they are inside the game.
Defence sector
Machines and Artilleries can be controlled entirely by the soldiers by sitting
in a safe room. Artilleries when connected to the brain via chips and devices
could make the movement of the machine very quickly. Could be a magical
instrument to help soldiers in rescuing people during natural
calamities.
With great benefit there comes bigger challenges.
Let us take a look |
It can be a bane
Mishandling
There is a very high probability that this technology can get to some
unsafe hands. Big terrorist organisations may try to acquire this technology
and use it to cause massive destruction in order to capture more
territory.
Becoming slave
There are even chances that this technology in coordination with AI
(Artificial Intelligence) may create machines which may be smarter than the
smartest human on entire Earth. This may, in turn, lead to a situation where
these machines may start dominating humans in the same way as humans treating
other animals.
Autonomous Navigation Robots
are advancing whose concept is used in
Electric Car and it will not take much time to fuse it with the neuroscience.
Thus it becomes our responsibility that how we accept these technologies
and the way we further use it.
