DESCRIPTION:Robert Sobot\, University of Western Ontario\nAt the beginning
  of the 21st century\, we are heading into a new technological revolution.
  This time\, convergence of nanotechnologies and neuroscience is set to le
 ad the next wave of technology\, which is expected to influence our lives 
 more than any of the previous ones. As it already has happened several tim
 es throughout the history\, the new technology is enabling a quantum leap 
 in our scientific advance.\n\nA full century was needed for all important 
 bits and pieces required for the information technology to come together. 
 In this talk some of the most important technological milestones in the mi
 crochip development are summarized. Looking ahead\, the current research o
 pportunities in the field of neuroscience\, more specifically biochip and 
 brain to machine interface\, are reviewed in respect to nanotechnology. Di
 rect brain to brain communication seems to be out of the science fiction d
 omain\, but with memristors entering the scene the only questions remainin
 g are: are we there yet and where are we heading?
