Okay, who actually genuinely refers to themselves as 'Jubilent'

But sure, stuck somewhere. We didn't have a crazy meta hating psycho to get back to or anything.

For now I plan to spend the money we did get on booze. Anywhere good?

Oh, Call me Frost I guess.

Oh hell yes, I love neurology. I mean, the brain's what runs the whole thing and it's most of the mystery, it's kind of ridiculous how little we really know about it. Even with my nanotech there's only limited potential to really track activity properly, and I'd rather keep them predominantly focused on the interfacing they're actually meant for.

I'm just doing both. Right now medical isn't exactly a huge demand on time, I'm mostly just trying to get a basic idea of people's baselines so I know what we're trying to get back to if anything happens and have the right drugs on hand.

	It's always been the speciality I wanted, from a very young age I wanted to understand the brain. Though I'd also love to talk about the nanotech. Sorry, I'm being nosy here. That makes sense. We can work a schedule out and if something happens we ramp it up, does that sound good? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mostly it gets me how we're actually incredibly poorly designed, but the one thing we really have going for us is the ability of the brain to work around it with all these little hacks. Most of them are so elegant that people have no idea they're even happening. I think there's huge potential there if we can figure out how it does that to control the process ourselves. The nanites are sort of an ongoing side project to put a bit of it into practice, but I mostly just stick with functions that already exist like limb control. We've got too many examples of how getting too ambitious can go wrong for me to want to skip steps, but being able to put on a set of wings and have the same kind of motor control you'd expect from your legs and arms is an incredible feeling. And a potential game changer for prosthetics, if the production and programming could be scaled up without compromising safety.

Yeah, that definitely works for me.

	And even how such an organ can exist. I mean I'm a scientist through and through but the brain, it's amazing that something like that even formed. I'd like to help with the side project if you'll have me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right? The more time you spend studying how it works the more impressive it gets. I tend to get... a little protective of mine, but I've been trying to find the time to look into replicating them for a few years now. Mine were personalised to me so early that creating some that are more interchangeable would be a whole different thing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
