“Singularity University: Cracking the (Human) Code”
by Ted Greenwald, Wired Senior Editor
The greatest mysteries yield the biggest opportunities. And for Christopher deCharms, the human brain is the most mysterious thing of all.
A neuroscientist specializing in real-time brain imagery, deCharms suggests that the next wave of knowledge, technology, and business will come from cracking the code that gives humans the capacity to perceive, think, and act.
He flashes a slide on the screen listing a dozen things we don't know: How does the brain make choices? Predictions? Plans? How does it produce an impression of identity, of experience? How does it adjust to change? How do we see, hear, touch, taste, smell? Why do we feel motivated one moment, depressed the next? Why do we sleep? (continue article)

In his various roles as a computer programmer, an emergency-medicine physician, and the director of Microsoft Medical Media Lab, Michael Gillam stays well ahead of the advances that are transforming health care. Yet even he can be caught unawares by the pace of technological change.
Gillam was reminded of this recently during a nine-day boot camp aimed at instructing professionals on how robotics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and other cutting-edge disciplines are affecting industries. Gillam, one of 20 participants in Singularity University's inaugural program for executives, was listening to futurist Ray Kurzweil. "We will have plenty of computation as we go through the 21st century," Kurzweil told attendees in the small dining room featuring Spanish Mission-style decor. "That is not so controversial. The more controversial aspect is really, will we have the software?" (continue article)
