As part of the    government brain project, the defense R&D agency DARPA says    it is close to announcing $60 million in contracts under a    program to create a high-fidelity brain interface able to    simultaneously record from one million neurons  the current    record is about 200  and stimulate 100,000 at a time.  <\/p>\n<p>    Several tech sector luminaries are looking for technology that    might fuse human and artificial intelligence. In addition to    Johnson, Elon Musk has been teasing a project called neural    lace, which he said at a 2016 conference will lead to    symbiosis with machines.  <\/p>\n<p>    And Mark Zuckerberg declared in a 2015 Q&A that people will    one day can share full sensory and emotional experiences, not    just photos. Facebook has been hiring neuroscientists for an    undisclosed project at Building 8, its secretive hardware    division.  <\/p>\n<p>    However, Elon Musk has been also moaning that the current    speeds for transferring signals from brains are ridiculously    slow.  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>    Tags: brain,    braintree, mit, musk  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techeye.net\/business\/silicon-valleys-top-brains-try-to-sort-out-the-singularity\" title=\"Silicon Valley's top brains try to sort out the singularity - TechEye\">Silicon Valley's top brains try to sort out the singularity - TechEye<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Posted on March 20, 2017 by Nick Farrell - Business, News, Science Some of Silicon Valleys top brains are trying to work out how to stuff their grey matter into the machines they build.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/singularity\/silicon-valleys-top-brains-try-to-sort-out-the-singularity-techeye\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187807],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-singularity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184363"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184363\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
