In her laboratory at the University of Washington, mathematician Kristin Rae Swanson peers into the future of brain cancer patients--on her computer screen.
Experts said the findings could be important for future research into brain cell repair in patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and, importantly, that studies in mice would be applicable to humans.
Rather than discussing the already worn (and to me irrelevant) debate of digital book versus analog book, I talked about future technologies like brain computer interface, real-time simulation and programmable material, and how these will change the face of literature far beyond the Kindle, perhaps eventually eliminating text altogether.
