The belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology. Transhumanism is a philosophical movement that advocates for the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology. Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations as well as the ethical limitations of using such technologies. The most common transhumanist thesis is that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into different beings with abilities so greatly expanded from the current condition as to merit the label of posthuman beings.

Connecting Brains: The BrainNet - VPRO documentary - 2014
Can we connect human brains together? What are the limits of what we can do with our brain? Is BrainNet our future? In science fiction movies, scientists' brains are downloaded into computers and criminal brains are connected to the Internet. Interesting, but how does it work in real life? Original title: The greedy brain Scientific journalist Rob van Hattum wondered what information we can truly get from our brain and came across an extraordinary scientific experience. An experiment where the brains of two rats were directly connected: one rat was in the United States and the other rat was in Brazil. They could influence the brain of the other directly. Miguel Nicolelis is the Brazilian neurologist who conducted this experiment. In his book 'Beyond Boundaries' he describes his special experiences in detail and predicts that it should be possible to create a kind of BrainNet. For Backlight, Rob van Hattum went to Sao Paulo and also visited all Dutch neuroscientists, looking for what the future holds for our brain. He connected his own brain to computers and let it completely be scanned, searching for the limits of reading out the brain.

Using a chatbot structure she developed, she entered their messaging history into a Google-built neural network, creating a bot she could interact with. It was the earliest version of Replika, a bot that, as you interact with it, turns into a digital representation of you. Read more: https://goo.gl/9nR4tt
