Our Vision for NeuroReality™
At the Human Fusions institute at Case Western Reserve University, we’re striving to scale human capability and presence through human-technology symbiosis. The vision of our team of interdisciplinary researchers is to create a thriving, just, and connected world through symbiotic human-technology relations.
To achieve this, we are building NeuroReality™, a technology platform that allows us to communicate the sense of touch in real-time, over long distances. NeuroReality™ consists of:
- Neural interfaces to connect with the human peripheral nervous system
- The NeuroReality™ networking platform to transmit data between humans and edge devices
- Connection with edge devices
Building on more than 40 years of neurotechnology success, NeuroReality™ harnesses the power of our sensorimotor systems using direct neural interfaces to pave the way for human-technology connections across time and space.
And we’ve already begun. On August 24, 2020, we successfully demonstrated the capabilities of NeuroReality™ when a student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio felt, touched and held a banana 2,300 miles away at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Our Mission
Our mission is to scale human capability and presence through remote touch. We are building and promoting a culturally diverse, open, transdisciplinary community of researchers, thinkers, students, entrepreneurs, and world leaders,
- To create human-centered, symbiotic relationships between humans and technology.
- To create transdisciplinary knowledge, science, and technologies,
- To disseminate discoveries.
- To form new enterprises built on applications of NeuroReality(™)
- To enhance one’s sense of self, community, and capability beyond the biological barriers.
Values
The Human Fusions institute embodies a transdisciplinary approach to developing symbiotic human-technology relationships through NeuroReality™. We create an environment that inspires every person to a self-actualized pursuit of their passion in harmony with our overall mission. We believe that technology should:
- Advance human social community
- Improve human health
- Expand human performance and capability
- Extend human reach
- Be equitable across all socioeconomic citizenry
- Break down divisions so that everyone can fully benefit from technological advancements
