What is the relationship between computing and bio technology when it comes to transhumanism?
The relationship between computing and biotechnology is a crucial aspect of transhumanism, as these two fields are increasingly converging to drive many transhumanist goals. Here's an overview of their relationship:
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology:
- Using powerful computers to analyze biological data, especially in genomics
- Modeling biological systems and processes
- Accelerating drug discovery and development
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs):
- Direct communication between the brain and external devices
- Potential for enhanced cognitive abilities or control of prosthetics
- Examples include Neuralink and other neural implant technologies
