How to create a mind : the secret of human thought revealed
Ray Kurzweil (Author)
This book presents a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilization: reverse-engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines. Kursweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges, brain computer interfaces, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence to address the world's problems
