It would take a second renaissance bringing polymaths throughout science to unravel getting old and improve human psychological capability to groundbreaking heights. This week’s Longevity, Computing, and Cognition Analysis Hackathon at MIT tackles this initiative. From 10/25 to 10/27, Ekkolápto, Augmentation Lab, and Meditation Artifacts will unite interdisciplinary minds to discover how rising computational paradigms can deal with the age-old inscrutability of getting old and consciousness.
Constructing on MIT’s status as the worldwide epicenter of innovation, this hackathon options particular visitor audio system:
Particulars:
- Win Prizes: Winners can stroll away with free Apple Watches, AirPods, a Meta Quest VR Headset, a ticket to the 2024 Biomarkers of Aging Conference, and extra!
- Networking: Members and spectators will join with main researchers, trade professionals, and friends captivated with advancing longevity, cognitive augmentation, and computing.
Key Themes:
- Might the physics and computational properties of getting old—resembling info loss—encourage new methods of enhancing the human mind and constructing AI? Members will delve into cutting-edge fields resembling reservoir computing, optical computing, and biocomputing to develop options that would revolutionize our understanding of getting old, consciousness, and the way forward for human-machine interfaces.
- Longevity Breakthroughs: resolve getting old via new organic paradigms (e.g., calorie restriction, senolytics, fasting, train, Free Radicals, How Life Works, Antagonistic Pleiotropy, Information Theory of Aging, and so forth.)
- Unconventional Computing: construct improvements in computing strategies (e.g., quantum computing, organic computing, chemputation, neuromorphic computing, planetary or mortal computation, and so forth.)
- Cognitive Breakthroughs: advance our understanding of cognition (e.g., Levin’s TAME, Friston’s FEP, The Book of Minds, reminiscence sports activities, plant cognition, lucid dreaming, meditation, cessation, psychedelics, QRI’s Neural Annealing, Patterns in Nature, and so forth.).
