The Future of the Mind - The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind

Michio Kaku, the New York Times bestselling author of 'Physics of the Impossible' and 'Physics of the Future' tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain. The Future of the Mind brings a topic that once belonged solely to the province of science fiction into a startling new reality. This scientific tour de force unveils the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world--all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics--including recent experiments in telepathy, mind control, avatars, telekinesis, and recording memories and dreams. 'The Future of the Mind' is an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience. Dr. Kaku looks toward the day when we may achieve the ability to upload the human brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; project thoughts and emotions around the world on a brain-net; take a smart pill to enhance cognition; send our consciousness across the universe; and push the very limits of immortality.
