Again wrong. The …
Again wrong. The 10% number is a total myth and applies to nothing.
The 10% of brain …
The 10% of brain use thing is a myth, that’s not how the brain works. Parts of the entire brain light up with activity all the time.
i suppose my first …
i suppose my first reaction was sort of pity for the rats but maybe it will help science and understanding
Less than 10% of it …
Less than 10% of it is used by us consciously, some of that being sensory, hearing, reasoning, etc. Obviously, the use of the brain is always in progress and always increasing as wisdom comes. The human brain IS 100% active, but only 10% of it can be used at any given time to prevent sensory/neural overload.And other parts of the brain are not in use for we haven’t got the ability to use it. But, mastering things such as meditation can allow more than 10% of your brain.
You know that this …
You know that this is a myth right?
We use ALL of our brain all the time.
Not just 10 percent of the total capacity.
Yes and I think …
Yes and I think that this time period is a very real example of self-destruction.
Yeah true. But they …
Yeah true. But they got to start somewhere. I dont think we´re so far away from being able to skip the connect-to-brain-thing. Soon we´ll be able to connect a mechanical hand directly on the forearm.
And the human is too smart for her on good x)
Our great succes too often leads to destruction. Sad but true.
I know. But I just …
I know. But I just don’t think it’s right. I hate the feel of all these wires and hooks and . Don’t get me wrong, technology has come a long way, it’s great. But this wasn’t meant to be, all of these disections and use of animals for such things. Sure, humans are very much capable and sucessful in ruling this world over. That doesn’t make it right, though.
Yeah you got a good …
Yeah you got a good point there. I think it´s better to build a small, maneuverable robot to find people below collapsed buildings.
The rat still got its own will. The only thing this stuff is doing is to stimulate an area in the brain and making the rat thinking about movin to the right, for example. It may deny the “order”. But if the rat is moving to the right the controller is stimulates a part in the rats brain, and that will make the rat feel good, and will continue to follow the “orders”.
But controlling a …
But controlling a rat’s brain seems so stupid. I don’t think stripping the animal of will helps us in any way. And I bet that animal loves having wires shoved in his brain. Rats andany other animal, for that matter, have very different body structures than humans. The experimentation on animals doesn’t do much for us, despite what they tell you.
Yeah, you got a …
Yeah, you got a point there. To controll the brain is unnecessary. But just the think with controlling machines and robotics with only the brain is a very good thing.
You see, you don’t …
You see, you don’t know me. So you don’t know that I think CONSTANTLY. I’ve thought of everything that my 10% of brain allows me to when it comes to this. And yeah, I understand that. But we’ve already got the whole prosthetic limbs thing down pact. My brother has a prostheticlimb, I know and respect that more than ever. But this is unnecessary. Controlling rats doesn’t help humanity.
Think about how …
Think about how much this could help other people, and animals as well. Think about all the children thats lost their arms or legs in wars, and think about all pets that looses their legs cuz a car hit them. This project is for making good, and to give individuals an alternativ life, easier life.
Just think of it.
Well thank you.
Well thank you.
Cool, I like being …
Cool, I like being wrong in circumstances like this.
If you want, look up transhumanism on wikipedia, it’s pretty interesting stuff. Andy Clarke has some good books on cybernetics as well, “natural born cyborgs” is a good one.
A) Animals, …
A) Animals, including humans, are meant to feed off of one another B) Technology has come along greatly because of animals, and I respect that C) We were built with the intelegence and intelectual capacity to rule over this world. When we are in war and being overthrown by a country or some other being beyond our defeat, then perhaps this can help us. Or when dissability calls for some cyborg-related limb, then maybe this can help. But this is notnecessary. Also, Peta can suck my balls.
Oh I suppose your a …
Oh I suppose your a vegan then, and wouldn’t mind giving up modern medicine to boot right? Since all drugs must be proven effective and safe on animals before entering human testing.
Also, PETA is that way –>
So i guess you …
So i guess you don’t fly or drive either, since you weren’t born with wings or wheels right?
I’ll third that …
I’ll third that agreement.
That’s freaking …
That’s freaking disguisting, what they’re doing to those animals. And don’t anybody dare to tell me, “You lack of knowledge when it comes to science is forthis world.” I mean, the technology, as I always find great to understand, isgreat. But I would like to hool that up to ahuman. The lives of the animals are no less important or valuable than our own.
Now, let us hear someone object??
I’ll third that …
I’ll third that agreement.
I’m sure your lack …
I’m sure your lack of endorsement will wither the scientific community.
AGREED FULL STOP
AGREED FULL STOP
could you immagine? …
could you immagine? an army of cyborg rats, Id gather a million of them and let them do the thriller dance all together!
I’ve never been a …
I’ve never been a supporter of Cybernetics, I believe if we’re suppose to have it, it would’ve come already attached at birth. I also strongly disagree with what they’re doing to those animals, as far as I could see they stripped that rat of its free will, yeah, I can see wonderful things coming out of that technology. I guess I’m just old fasioned, but I’d like to get up and walk away from my computer without having to pull a wire out of my body first.
