Part 3

• Resilient social-ecological system


  A system that can be pushed to an extreme while maintaining its functionality either by returning to an earlier state or by operating in a new state
• Resilient systems


  • Endure external pressures caused by climate change, natural disasters, and economic globalization
  • Can stand extreme weather events or regain functionality quickly afterward
  • Can maintain a complex web of life when one or more organism is overexploited
• Brain-to-brain interfaces (BBI)


  Allow direct communication from one brain to another without speech
• BBI experiments


  • In 2014, the University of Washington researcher performed a BBI experiment that allowed a person to command over another person about half a mile away, the goal being the simple task of moving their hand
  • This year, scientists also transmitted words from brain-to-brain across 5,000 miles
• Electroencephalography (EEG)


  Machine that detects brain activity in the sender
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation coil

  Controls movement in the receiver
