BornToKill 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ye but i sure hope they aren't forgetting the psychological effects it could have.The brain also 'Forgets' things it regards as useless information and also disturbing memories it can't deal with. Altzhiemers is partly due to the brains inability to forget needless information actually causing the subject to go mad due to too much information and the inability to filter out important information. Potentially this could breed soldiers who show signs of deep psychological distubances due to either past memories from their childhood (should they have anything remotely disturbing in their past) or just that inabilty to forget stuff that isn't important and being overcome by too much information. On the other hand it could also just be political propaganda, considering we at at 'War' against terror!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whoa182 0 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) I am looking forward to when genetic enhancements and enhancing the mind using computer technology is 'common'. Shouldn't be too long now. Most of us here will get some sort of enhacements done at some point in the near future. With muliple fields such as Information Technology, Nanotechnology and Biotechnology merging together we will be able make the human body more capable and our intelligence millions, billions or even trillions of times better. It's almost inevitible that technology is the next step in evolution. Each stage in in evolution took shorter amount of time, an exponential growth. Technology will radically change who we are in the 21st century. Progress in Technology is accelerating, infact we can expect around 20 THOUSAND YEARS of technological progresss at todays rate of progress in the 21st century. And we will experience more change in the next 20 years than what happend in the whole of the 20th century. Altzhiemers is partly due to the brains inability to forget needless information actually causing the subject to go mad due to too much information and the inability to filter out important information. wrong Ye but i sure hope they aren't forgetting the psychological effects it could have.The brain also 'Forgets' things it regards as useless information and also disturbing memories it can't deal with. We'll have enough knowledge to take control of this problem. Edited October 28, 2005 by whoa182 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow i don't think you have 15yrs experience in Psychology, something my mother has who practices as a Psychoanalyst. You seem to have little understanding of this subject.

mob 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 This stuff doesn't really fall under psychoanalysis' proper domain, it's more of a cognitive neuroscience matter. Psychoanalysis is a very particular branch of psychology that is rooted more in theoretical models than in scientific discoveries, so i'm not sure how much it can comment on the implications of these experiments.
