I'd appreciate extropic comments from anyone interested in enhancing our
senses, and what how this will affect our primal instincts, and, thus,
advance our insight and intra/interpersonal communications, for example.
What types of brain enhancements might be designed to deal with the
relaying of new information gained from enhancing the senses (especially
smell and hearing). How will the brain's cognitive capabilities sift
through the enhanced information and utilize expanded sensorial capabilities?
What types of intelligent agents will assist us in using enhanced
sensorial information to discern our environments more intelligently, and
how will this affect our communication skills? Is it important to upgrade
the job of the early primitive brain so that it works nicely in conjunction
with enhanced senses to give it more spin, and what might be deployed to
develop and expanded insight and "gut" feelings from the input from
enhanced senses to better understanding of feelings, exploring empathy,
insight, to help us make better decisions with more information?
Is 'gut feeling' important in the advancement of ourselves?
(Instinct/Intuition)
Thanks,
Natasha
