There are actually many examples of neuroscience that we use recently. For example we are making robots that could do complicated tasks that we never thought in five years ago. They not only can communicate with us, but also save lives. They are working at all kinds of areas that makes our life better. This is really a huge progress of neuroscience.
The dolphins are always considered as a smart animal. The use of neuroscience makes them even smarter. People now train them to study things just as human beings. We teach them how to do math problems and how to find specific stuff. Their intelligence is being explored by scientist and they are able to help us finish all kinds of tasks.
Those are all kinds of examples that neuroscience is helping improve our life qualities and I do think that there are still unlimited possibilities of human brain.

Hi Hao,
回复删除I agree with you there are many aspects of the study of neuroscience that have enhanced our way of living. Robots in Japan just like we studied a few weeks ago are being assembled to help us in the most dangerous of situations.
I really enjoyed your point about dolphins and them being smart animals. We often think that humans are very superior, but when we stop an analyze our environment we begin to appreciate other organisms as well.
But do you think that there might ever be a case where theses advancements might hurt us?
Hi Hao,
回复删除Could you explain further that how neuroscience is linked with robotics? I don't see the connections quite clearly as robots seem to be more of a production from mechanics. How are they emotionally similar to humans? I agree with your point that the developments in neuroscience are helping to make our lives easier.
