Software for the brain. New competition

Over the past ten to fifteen years, various devices hyperintensively invaded all spheres of human existence. They penetrated into the human body itself. Perhaps, there is not a single organ to which farsighted scientists would not try to connect electrodes and make additional improvements. A new body for man, in many respects, mechanical, has ceased to seem a fantastic future, but was the result of the development of science.

But, like any new “hardware”, devices for improving our bodies will be far ahead of the possibility of feedback between the body and the “main processor” - the brain. And then in a new, bright future, the next generation of "improvers" will come - amplifiers of human abilities at the program level. In conjunction with the new mechanical bodies, the software of the future will make it possible to achieve unprecedented human capabilities.

Upgrading a person will be as easy as installing new versions of software. The only hitch that arises in the mind of a person of the future is connected with the choice of the software he needs personally. And in this case he will be helped by the participants of the new Trendklab contest.

Brain software is the topic of competition.

Participants are invited to talk about programs and applications that in the future everyone can install directly into the brain. Imagine that instead of the operating system - your own mind, and instead of the usual set of programs - a list of what you would like to automate, bring to a new, high-tech level. These can be memory interaction programs, affecting visual and auditory perceptions (would you like realistic hallucinations?) Or setting your usual set of applications right into your subconscious.

We have become accustomed to the fact that various mechanical devices make life easier for our bodies. A car on the road, a microwave in the kitchen, a bionic prosthesis - all of these devices are designed to make life easier. And in the future, no doubt, new software will be added to the mechanical devices. What it will be - now you can decide. The selection criteria for your future software is similar to the sampling parameters in previous contests. We pay attention to how convincing you are within the physically-limited capabilities of the human brain, whether you could break the line between the computer and the human brain.

Prizes:

1st place: ASUS Eee PC 1215P netbook


2nd place: ASUS Eee Reader DR900 e-book


3rd place: Router ASUS WL-500

I think it makes sense to fight for such prizes.

Duration of the competition: until November 12. We are waiting for an intellectual feast, publish your work in our blog of the competition .

Well, for those who do not want or do not like to write, as well as for those who still remember the game PacMan, we have another competition. It passes in the new application Save the laptop from coffee .

The rules of the contest are very simple: you play a virtual character-laptop with the help of keyboard control keys and try to escape through the maze from the dangerous mugs of coffee, while collecting pleasant bonuses. True, very simple and similar to PacMan?

Gaining points, you get to the ranking table. Three of the most successful players receive prizes from ASUS - the Eee PC 1015PW netbook, the ASUS Eee Reader DR-900 e-book and the ASUS WL-500gP V2 router. In general, the prizes are the same as for your thoughts about software for the brain.

The duration of the game competitions is limited - you have time to show manual dexterity until November 10, 2011.
Participate and win. Good luck!
