Information About

Human Cognome Project

studying brain ''biology'' and ''chemistry'' in Wet Lab experiments,

studying brain ''structure'' to determine aspects of the Connectome using frozen/ chemically preserved tissue sample scanning and imaging,

studying brain ''activity'' and ''function'' using active Neuroimaging ,
(spatial and temporal resolutions in successive generations of the technology are improving exponentially over time)

studying brain ''development'' though the field of Morphogenesis .

studying brain ''disease'', ''injury'' and ''dysfunction'' through the fields of brain Pathology , Neurology and Psychopharmacology , and

studying psychology relative to brain structure and function through Neuropsychology

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and other scientific research bodies have endorsed the Human Cognome Project.

Fundamental brain research as a primary enabler for creating Augmented Human Intelligence and smarter-than-human Strong Artificial Intelligence is recognized by many public figures, most notably entrepreneurs Ray Kurzweil , Jeff Hawkins , Bill Joy and Paul Allen , scientist Stephen Hawking , writer Arthur C. Clarke , and philosopher Max More .
