... meanwhile at The Ishikawa Komuro Lab at Tokyo University, a group has been working on superfast robotic motion ...
Imagine the possibilities in neuroprosthetics and integrated bio-machine cybernetics - engineering super-stregth super-responsive limbs interfaced with the nervous system.
They're also working on creating high-level real-time 3D shape recognition mechanisms for robots to interact with humans and other organisms.
For example:
"Dynamic Image Control" is a technology that allows human beings to observe dynamic phenomena that are normally incomprehensible to us. Like, we can't see the patterns on a flying bee wing, flowing red blood cell in vein, or the printed characters on a whacked golf ball dropping onto a fairway.
This is because of our relatively slow flame-rate of deciphering the object's physical image-superimposed-dynamics.
Imagine having an implanted robotic eye that gives you microscopic vision or x-ray vision or super fast spatio-recognition.

Another emerging technology in the field of human-machine interactive systems is Khronos Projection imaging (click hyperlink) which allows active interaction with 4D spatio-temporal volume of images. You're basically interacting with the 4D space-time of a recorded or REAL TIME image (much similar to how we interact with curved space-time in the real world due to gravity) in 2D.
So. WTF is this shit, WTF does it mean and why the fuck should I give a fuck?
Well imagine using this technology to enable an interactive 4D virtual environment where doctors could perform novel mock surgeries before actually doing the real thing.
Also, in a collabo with Clemson University bioengineering researcher, Nina Zhang (CHINESE, not American), they've invented a biogel that you inject into somebody's brain to regrow injured brain tissues. Essentially, it's "brain-in-a-tube"
Zhang and her colleagues squirted this substance into rat brains, and it transformed into fully-functioning bits of gray matter. Says Zhang:
"These results that we are seeing in adult lab rats are the first of its kind and show a sustained functional recovery in the animal model of TBI (traumatic brain injury). It also represents one of very few in the traumatic brain injury field that attempts structural repair of the lesion cavity using a tissue-engineering approach."
What she's saying is that basically this is a fast way to do tissue engineering on brains. And it might be ready for use in humans within three years!
Here you can see an image of some of the brain tissues that regrew after Zhang squirted the biogel into a damaged rat brain. The red indicates blood vessels, and the green shows nerve cells.

Think about it, the top tier advanced research universities and institutions in America are basically run by European and East Asian scientists. The way this country is heading in terms of education ... the damn near 30% high-school drop-out rate the, the "dumbification" of this generation of kids inevitable ...couple that to the inevitable near future reverse brain-drain ...
USA. Step ya game up or ...
