The Future Trends Forum has detected the main areas of work of neuroscience and discussed how neuroscience will help us to know ourselves better, improve our intellectual abilities, heal diseases or the possibility of connecting our brain with machines.
Interview with Antonio Damasio about his vision for the future of neuroscience. January 2020.
Definition and main areas of study of neuroscience.
Applications of everyday neuroscience
Our brain defines us, processes the world around us, and determines how we respond to stimuli. Neuroscience is the discipline that works to understand the structure and functioning of the nervous system and that is in full revolution thanks to: collaboration between scientific disciplines, and the application of new technologies that are facilitating the careful observation of the brain and new applications of brain-machine interfaces.
Neuroscience is currently working in 3 major areas:
We interviewed our expert Alex Fornito about how the development of the Connectome, that is, the mapping of the brain, helps to understand what happens inside our nervous system.
Neuroscience arises with the aim of understanding the functioning and structure of the nervous system from different app[…]
Scientists say that, although it is important to continue advancing in research, it is also vital to bring this knowledge closer to citizens and their day to day. The main applications that bring neuroscience closer to our day to day are:
If we can understand the brain, we will be able to address diseases and disorders that have so far eluded us.
The scientific environment draws attention to the importance of making neuroscience accessible to citizens and their dai[…]
We live in the midst of a technological revolution in neuroscience, both in its development and in the expansion of its social impact. For example, thanks to technology, the observation of the brain is increasingly thorough, but there are other technologies that influence the development of neuroscience: Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Wereables and Brain-Machine Interfaces.
The latest technological advance that neurocienca is working on is to develop machines that are capable of feeling.
We live in the middle of the technological revolution, a revolution that is changing the way we communicate or work, amo[…]
Interview with José Carmena, expert in bioelectronics of the nervous system, on future advances in neurotechnology.
How can advances in the study of neuroscience change our lives 10 years from now? The experts gathered at the Future Trends Forum are located in 2030 to visualize different possible scenarios.
We interviewed Miri Polachek, an investor in the field of health, for the areas with the greatest potential for development within neuroscience.
Neuroscientist Antonio Damasio provides us with clues to one of humanity’s great questions: how have we arrived at hav[…]
