New tech intro

An Introduction to the New Technology Section As wonderfully crafted the human body is, it still cannot see microscopic organisms, locate galaxies beyond the Milky Way, or even detect a dangerous cancer existing between its own organs without the use of technology. Technology is so empowering and so advantageous that by using it, we have expanded the scope of human power tremendously in the last few centuries. The use of technology allows us to conquer many unknowns about the brain. After all, if we can uncover brain tumors through functional imaging and detect epileptic fits using electroencephalography, we can most definitely conquer the rest of the mysteries of consciousness through future developments in technology.

We include this column in this journal with the hopes of inspiring rising neuroscientists to take the initiative to build machines and computer programs to answer the unanswered. We hope that by including the accomplishments of other prominent computational neuroscientists and engineers your minds will be stimulated enough to lend your own unique perspectives to tackle the most devastating of disorders, cease unimaginable pain seemingly arising from nothing, or even the process of aging.

All of us are lucky enough to be living in the age of unbridled technological development. If you are passionate about bettering the quality of others’ lives, learning about technology is a must. After all, when you have a powerful machine at your fingertips, why not use it to make the world a better place?
