How long before we use the human Brain for a hard drive?

well it seems logical to me. when do you think well see this happen?

If its anything like mine it will be very secure, you will never get you're data back

Mine is far to inefficient and regularly needs re-formating and defragging

but the brain is far quicker than any machine part made so in future maybe it will be viable option.sci-fi is the future not created yet isnt it?

We do already, just not connected to anything other than ourselves.

quicker yes, but far to changeable the data would be changed far too quickly and be useless.

Atrifically grown neurons may make fast processors/analog computers but by the time we can do that artificial means will have long surpassed the human brain.

well they do stuff already this is a old thing but if you read it you can get an idea about the things possible.

sure just give us your log in details then :/

sorry just put this in google tio link

Human Brain to Machine Interface May Now Be Feasible

now maybe not exactly what i mean but you can see where im coming from.

That article has no relevance to using the "human brain for a hard drive".

yeah but thats not writing to the brain thats just detecting signals, so disabled people etc can move a curisr/in future hopefully a limb.

Getting the neurones to link/grow in the correct order for data retention would be mind boggling to do. (and very likely drain damaging.)

and as i said by then computers will have become far faster than the brain.

Those are the details that will unlock hard drive brains! we must find his brain and connect it to a motherboard quick!

~>Dg<~ · 15 Sep 2008 at 10:52

quite an interesting article about the brain and pc .

http://www.transhumanist.com/volume1/moravec.htm

so if you have a monkey brain in your pc its as powerful as deep blue chess machine haha.

You wish, Machine > Human.

If anything we will upgrade our brain with computers.

depends on cost really doesnt it? not even a mutli-billion pound machine can beat a brain so which would be cheaper to use?

yeah thats gonna work :rolleyes:

- i can barely remember last week!
