1. Brain Scans Replace
SATs by 2032
1988: Prof. Richard Haier of
U.C. Irvine Does Brain Scans
on Volunteers while they solve
problems.
• They discovered that smarter
people had brains that could
be more efficient.
2007: Intelligence is distrib-
uted across the brain and not
focused specifically in one part
of the frontal lobe.

2. “Haier notes that ‘The goal of our research is not to
replace the SAT with brain imaging. The goal is to
understand what it is about brain characteristics that
make some people smarter than others. As we learn
about brain/intelligence relationships and mechanisms,
we might be able to manipulate the brain to substan-
tially increase intelligence using neurochemicals or
other means.’”

3. Augmented Reality
Google Glass
• Prototypes currently in testing. eventually
could be placed in contact lenses.
Heads-Up Display
Contact Lenses
• Bionic Contact Lense For Email
And Driving Maps.
• Initial Tests On Rabbits Have Gone Well,
But Advancements Need To Be Made Before
They Can Be Used on Humans. -BBC News Health

4. Vision Reconstruction From fMRI Scans
• Useful for People Who Cannot Communicate
• Neurological Diseases
• Psychotherapy or Dream Analysis

5. National Human Genome Research Institute
and the Human Genome Project
April 2003
Entire Human Genome Successfully Sequenced
March 2012
1000 Genomes Project data available on Amazon Cloud
• Wide Medical Benefits and Future Applications
of this knowledge. Ability to Label, Predict, Prevent,
and Fight Diseases.
• Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications.

6. Facial Recognition Software / Retinal Scans
• iPhoto and Picassa use Facial Recognition to assist labeling images.
• RecognizeMe iPhone App that scans your face to as a passcode.
• Sony Introducing facial recognition that makes Avatars respond to
your gestures and facial features. They are also able to alter and
apply your voice to the avatar.
• Facial Recognition Bars: SceneTap and other bars are using cameras
and facial recognition to scan their clientele, determine demogra-
pics, and adjust their marketing based on the acquired data.

7. Microchips in the Brain
• Increase Memory and/or Repair Brain Damage.
RAT TESTING: “These integrated experimental modeling studies show for the first
time that with sufficient information about the neural coding of memories, a neural
prosthesis capable of real-time identification and manipulation of the encoding
process can restore and even enhance cognitive mnemonic processes,”
• Enable Movement of Prosthetic Limbs
“The FDA has accepted its first submission from the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) to review a brain-controlled, upper-extremity prosthetic
designed to restore near-natural arm, hand and finger function to patients suffering
from spinal cord injury, stroke or amputation. The arm system uses a microchip
implanted on the surface of the brain to record neuronal activity and decode the
signals to actuate motor neurons that control the prosthesis. DARPA and the FDA
have signed a Memorandum of Understanding addressing boththe development and
review of this project.”
