- The neurogeneration : the new era in brain enhancement that is revolutionizing the way we think, work, and heal / by Le, Tan,1977-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The NeuroGeneration reveals the dizzying array of emerging technologies-including cranial stimulation that makes you learn faster, an artificial hippocampus that restores lost memories, and neural implants that aim to help us keep up with or even outpace artificial intelligence-that promise to alter the brain in unprecedented ways, unlocking human potential we never dreamed possible"--- Subjects: Creative nonfiction.; Instructional and educational works.; Neurotechnology (Bioengineering); Neurosciences;

- Antediluvian / by McCarthy, Wil,author.(CARDINAL)436250;
It turns out that the legends of the Stone Age are even older than we think. It was a time when a world of archetypes and myths was written upon the very fabric of humanity itself in the deepest way--a world that has only been preserved in the oldest stories with no way to actually visit it--until now. In a brilliant and dangerous brain-hacking experiment, Harv Leonel and Tara Mukherjee are about to discover entire lifetimes of human memory coded in our genes and reveal ancient legends--from knights and trolls, to flood myths, to the birth of humanity itself--that are very real. And very deadly...- Subjects: Science fiction.; Collective memory; Prehistoric peoples; Neurotechnology (Bioengineering);

- The battle for your brain : defending the right to think freely in the age of neurotechnology / by Farahany, Nita A.,author.(CARDINAL)867132;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-261) and index.Pt. I. Tracking the brain -- The last fortress -- Your brain at work -- Big brother is listening -- Know thyself -- Pt. II. Hacking the brain -- Revving up -- Braking the brain -- Mental manipulation -- Bewilderbeasts -- Beyond human -- On cognitive liberty."A rock star academic explores the final frontier of personal privacy: your mind. Imagine a world where your brain can be interrogated to learn your political beliefs, thought crimes are punishable by law, and your own feelings can be used against you. Where perfumers create customized fragrances to perfectly suit your emotions, and social media titans bypass your conscious mind to hook you to their products. A world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts moments before a seizure, and the average person can peer into their own mind to eliminate painful memories or cure addictions. Neuroscience has already made all of the above possible today, and neurotechnology will soon become the "universal controller" for all of our interactions with technology. This can benefit humanity immensely, but without safeguards, it can severely threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination. Companies, governments, and militaries are all in: from contemplative neuroscience to consumer-based EEG technology, there have never been more ways to hack and track our brains. But access is just the beginning. Our brains can be changed with performance-boosting drugs, electrical stimulation, and even surgical interventions. Soon neuro-cinema, neuro-monitoring, and even cognitive warfare will be commonplace--the brain is the next battleground for humanity. The Battle for Your Brain by Nita A. Farahany dives deeply into the promises and perils of the coming dawn of brain access and alteration. Written by one of the world's foremost experts on neuroscience as it intersects with law and ethics, this highly original book offers a pathway forward to navigate the complex ethical dilemmas that neurotechnology presents, which will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselves"--- Subjects: Informational works.; Neurosciences; Neurotechnology (Bioengineering);
