Taking a Brief Look at Neuroscience

//Neuroscience Complexity//

Science and technology continue to evolve and we’re already starting to hear about brain tech. Perhaps where Nootropics found an audience, brain tech will be the next big fix that smart drug hackers need. Behind brain power and everything of the mind, there is the broad yet complex subject of neuroscience. I wanted to progressively write about my own journey in understanding this difficult subject. Let’s start off with what neural science is, it’s an understanding of the nervous system. It connects many bodily functions, senses, chemical reactions and so much more. The brain is powerful and complex in structure, making neuroscience one of the hardest areas of research to date.

//Reverse Engineering the Mind//

Modern neuroscience takes a new approach to exploring the foundations of its functions. I would like to compare this to compiled code. Without the blueprints or source code, it is difficult to understand what makes everything tick in the background but piecing together like a game of Sudoku is very possible as we have seen in various decompilation projects. Neuroscience approaches the brain in a similar way with a number of assumptions in an effort to reverse engineer the neural system. While it’s interesting to see what stimulates the brain, understanding its development and function at a very low level allows for interesting ‘brain hacks’. With this information in hand, new treatments and enhancements could see widespread introduction to the human population.

//Brain Secrets and the Future//

Everything we do is tied together by our brains. Thinking, moving and even diseases are all influenced by the brain. It’s an essential field of research that holds the key to understanding and treating a number of disorders. Our senses are very important in life and many of these problems are brain linked disorders. Neurology is an area that continues to evolve extensively and while it’s valuable to understand the behaviour of the brain under experimental context, the aforementioned approach of reverse engineering the brain is one that appears to me as the brain key of the future. I’ve touched on the lessons that nature holds in unlocking secrets to other forms of science and invention. Our own brains hold elusive secrets that are waiting to be deciphered. Aside from simulating and bolstering AI technology, the future of the medical field will see great benefit in the years to come due to neuroscience.
