What about the brain in 2030?

“Progress on the understanding of the brain and learning over the past 25 years will look primitive compared to progress over the next 25 years”, says Jerome Glenn who co-founded and directs the Millennium Project. This is a leading global think tank supported by international organizations, governments, corporations, and NGOs, which has produced the internationally recognized State of the Future annual reports for the past ten years.
Secondary Futures recently took part in the OECD co-sponsored conference in Helsinki - "Graspng the Future". Take a look at Jerome Glenn’s full presentation. He looks at how the brain might work differently by 2030. We realised in Helsinki that the future of brain technology is something we’ve only just begun to grasp. Teacher training today doesn’t sufficiently cover brain technology - maybe it should. 25 years ago we didn’t have computers, internet, euros, the WTO or an aids pandemic. So what we think about as ‘far out’ today could be very possible in the next 25 years. How will the way we use our brains and the way we learn change in that time?
