Humanity+ @San Francisco - http://2012.humanityplus.org
Technology is changing the very activity of writing. There are external technologies, like AI-driven software for voice recognition, but the real act of writing still happens between the ears. This talk covers a variety of human performance-enhancing technologies available to aid writers in creating better content faster. These technologies were used by the presenter as he created The Bulletproof Executive blog. We will focus on cognitive enhancing technologies, including neurofeedback, software, biofeedback, pharmaceutical, auditory, visual, and more invasive methods, as well as ways to train creativity -- or even configure it using external hardware. The talk will close with a discussion of achievable but not yet available technologies to enhance the performance of writers, authors, and other creative professionals.
