* A series of lectures will examine the merger between biology and technology
* have been organized by the Fundación Banco Santander
The biology and technology are getting closer and the speed of technological advances affects the operation of society and its customs. These are the issues that put on the table four sessions of 'techno-humanity', the Cycle for Science and Society, Fundación Banco Santander, which is 15 years and will take place in Madrid.
Punset Eduardo is responsible for opening the cycle Wednesday with a conference called just 'The techno-humanity. " During his talk, direct reply to the questions you ask questions via Twitter.
"In evolutionary terms, the success of the human species has been enormous, matched only by that of the cyanobacteria that two thousand million years ago changed the chemical composition the atmosphere, "says Eduardo Punset. The host of 'Networks', also believes in the future the technology will be merged with biology modifying our own nature and giving rise to a qualitative difference with the other living beings.
Punset is responsible for moderating the remaining sessions of the cycle, such as Kevin Warwick, who will focus on the keys of robotics and the famous project 'Cyborg'. Other key issues to be discussed during this lecture will epigenetics health and disease, and fusion energy particle collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).
brains for robots
Kevin Warwick, one of the world's greatest experts in robotics and artificial intelligence, will speak next Wednesday, which would explain its flagship project - 'The Cyborg Experiment'-and analyze the different possibilities of implanting electrodes in the creation of biological brains for robots and how they are able to enhance and reduce neuronal diseases.
Warwick and his colleagues argue that the project 'Cyborg' permit design new devices to solve the problems of patients with nervous system damage, as well as findings open the way for more ambitious, as a technology for telepathy.
future proposals
Meanwhile, on March 16, Manel Esteller English biologist talk about the epigenetics of health and illness, ie of all those effects that do not affect the DNA sequence that are not included in the genetic code, as in the case of the environment.
also the next day 23 expert Steve Cowley raise the fusion as a clean energy future, when fossil fuels run out, what will happen in just a century. Cowley proposed fusion energy, the energy of the stars, the same that produces the sun and feeding the life we \u200b\u200bknow.
Finally, on March 30, CERN physicist Alvaro de Rújula, close the technological cycle on humanity with a conference on the Large Hadron Collider particles.
