Transhumanist thinkers believe that some day in the not-so-distant future, we will be able to augment the brain and mind in ways nearly inconceivable today. Future pharmaceuticals and microscopic brain implants could rapidly repair, regenerate, and revamp brain cells. Genetic engineering could alter the mind biologically, increasing intelligence, creativity, or any other desired quality. Virtual or augmented reality technology may become so advanced as to be indistinguishable from reality, connect directly into our nervous systems, and allow us to live in worlds currently unimaginable.
