Summary
#mindupload #neuroscience #biotechnology #braincomputerinterface Prof. Watanabe Mastaka is the associate prof at the Department of Systems Innovation, Faculty of Engineering, The University of Tokyo He heads the Watanabe Laboratory & specializes in theoretical and experimental neuroscience with a particular focus on consciousness, machine consciousness, spiking neural networks, brain-machine-interface & mind-uploading he is the author of “From Biological to Artificial Consciousness”. Prof Masa is working on a new type of Brain Machine Interface that enables reading and writing information with unprecedented precision. The proposed BMI dissects axonal fibers that connect the two cortical hemispheres and inserts a CMOS-based, double-sided two-dimensional electrode array. This design allows independent reading and writing of all axonal projections that connect the two hemispheres. Importantly, due to the critical problems suggested by Histed et al. (Neuron, 2009), the proposed brain–machine interface is likely the only plausible method for biological brains to sufficiently communicate with artificial devices, leading to medical applications such as AI assistance and replacement of neuronal function. https://www.sys.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/memberpage/3366?lang=enhttps://sites.google.com/view/watanaberesearchlab/ Watch our highest-viewed videos: 1-DR R VIJAYARAGHAVAN - PROF & PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR AT TIFR India’s 1st Quantum Computer- https://youtu.be/ldKFbHb8nvQ 2-TATA MOTORS- DRIVING THE FUTURE OF MOBILITY IN INDIA- SHAILESH CHANDRA- MD: TATA MOTORS-https://youtu.be/M2Ey0fHmZJ0 3-MIT REPORT PREDICTS SOCIETAL COLLAPSE BY 2040 - GAYA HERRINGTON -DIR SUSTAINABILITY: KPMG- https://youtu.be/Jz29GOyVt04 4-WORLDS 1ST HUMAN HEAD TRANSPLANTATION- DR SERGIO CANAVERO - https://youtu.be/KY_rtubs6Lc 5-DR HAROLD KATCHER - CTO NUGENICS RESEARCH Breakthrough in Age Reversal- https://youtu.be/214jry8z3d4 6-Head of Artificial Intelligence-JIO - Shailesh Kumar https://youtu.be/q2yR14rkmZQ 7-STARTUP FROM INDIA AIMING FOR LEVEL 5 AUTONOMY - SANJEEV SHARMA CEO SWAAYATT ROBOTS - https://youtu.be/Wg7SqmIsSew 8-MAN BEHIND GOOGLE QUANTUM SUPREMACY - JOHN MARTINIS - https://youtu.be/Y6ZaeNlVRsE 9-BANKING 4.0 - BRETT KING FUTURIST, BESTSELLING AUTHOR & FOUNDER MOVEN - https://youtu.be/2bxHAai0UG0 10-E-VTOL & HYPERLOOP- FUTURE OF INDIA" S MOBILITY- SATYANARAYANA CHAKRAVARTHY https://youtu.be/ZiK0EAelFYY 11-HOW NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING WILL ACCELERATE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - PROF SHUBHAM SAHAY- IIT KANPUR- https://youtu.be/sMjkG0jGCBs 12-INDIA'S QUANTUM COMPUTING INDUSTRY- PROF ARUN K PATI -DIRECTOR QETCI- https://youtu.be/Et98nkwiA8w Connect & Follow us at: https://in.linkedin.com/in/eddieavil https://in.linkedin.com/company/change-transform-india https://www.facebook.com/changetransformindia/ https://twitter.com/intothechange https://www.instagram.com/changetransformindia/ Listen to the Audio Podcast at: https://anchor.fm/transform-impossible https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/change-i-m-possibleid1497201007?uo=4 https://open.spotify.com/show/56IZXdzH7M0OZUIZDb5mUZ https://www.breaker.audio/change-i-m-possible https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xMjg4YzRmMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw Don't Forget to Subscribe www.youtube.com/@toctwpodcast Time Stamp 0:00 to 02:54- Intro & background 02:54 to 04:15- current understanding of human brain 04:15 to 06:46- approach to learn about human brain 06:46 to 07:59- language of neuronal firing & wiring 07:59 to 16:57- mind uploading process 16:57 to 21:52- do we need to digitise both brain & body for mind uploading? 21:52 to 25:58-peers working in mind uploading 25:58 to 32:03- Prof. Masa’s mind uploading method 32:03 to 35:34- how & when mind uploading be possible 35:34 to 39:53- spiking neural networks & neuromorphic computing
