Cerebral Hack

As you sit in front of your computer screen this moment, electrical pulses are running rapid. Connecting, receiving, sending, and learning within the most complicated of networks known to man; your brain.

Welcome to CerebralHack.Com

As we move forward through the 21st century, a shift in how things are done will soon become apparent. Electronically, devices are becoming more and more ‘plugged in’ to our daily lives. One restraint that holds back a plethora of opportunity is using the human brain as an interfacing device  for an electronic device. The melding into one,  to go as far as the Singularity theory is something that is an unquestionable possbility waiting to happen. The hardest question is ‘when?’ Or more intriguingly “how?”

It is  because it is something “in our time” that we don’t fully understand it; the daily functions, the habits we would fall into, the routine, and how it would impact and  interact with our everyday life. It would be like the “today you” telling the “1989 you” how aspects as presently simple as blogs, Facebook,  text messaging, Twitter and email would be so intertwined to your personal/professional lives, not to mention networking, the mobile boom and the communicative enhancement it gave to the Human Race as a whole.  The 1989 you wouldn’t be able to fully comprehend it.  However in the Information Age, it is a bit easier to ’see ahead’ then it was earlier; before our knowledge bases were so inter-connected, and easily accessible.

Some have gotten a head start. These people are more often than not called “early adapters”. For large scale change it must first be accepted by a smaller audience first.  People have already started to tap into the raw power of their own brain; in fact, its been going on for centuries.  Beyond meditation, people are using Isolation Tanks to disconnect themselves from their sense of touch and replacing it with nearly true weightlessness which forces the brain to compensate with a different form of neural stumli.  OCZ released the first Neural Impulse receiver and marketed it as a gaming interface device. Lucas Arts created a cylindrical toy in which a fan facing upward points through the clear plastic tube with a ping pong ball inside. The user puts a head band on that reads bra8in waves and converts those waves to the [High | Low] settings on the fan, giving the illusion of using the “Force” to raise the ball.
