Abstract
The second NBIC theme is concerned with means to strengthen the physical or biological capabilities of individuals. The panel’s work dovetailed with that of the first panel in the area of human cognition, especially the exciting and challenging field of brain performance. The brain,after all, is an organ of the human body and is the physical basis for that dynamic system of memory and cognition we call the mind. An extremely complex brain is the feature of human biology that distinguishes us from other animals, but all the other tissues and organs of the body are also essential to our existence and overall performance, and they thus deserve close scientific and technological attention.
