The immortality secret is in a computer.

In the year 2045 the humans may be immortal by a connection between their brain and a computer, at least thats what the futurists believe.

This idea was presented in the Global Future International Congress for year 2045.

The conference, created by russian multimillionaire Dimitry Itskov, it's focused in science fiction and extremist science. In it there were presented luminaries figures in the science world,  like Ray Kurzweil, Peter Diamandis and Marvin Minsky.

Kurzweil, futuristic creator, and now Google's engineer director, predicted for year 2045, the technologic will exceeds the human power and will exist a super intelligence. Others scientists think the robots will take the humanity control for year 2100.

According to the Moon's law, the computer's power is being duplicated every 2 years. Others technologies are experimenting similar exponential advances, from the genetic, to the D effects, highlighted Kurzweil to the assistants. The specialist used statistical analysis to prove his points. "In 2045, according with realistic estimates of the amount of computation that is needed to simulate a human brain, we'll be able to expand our intelligence almost 10,000,000,000 time more" he said.

Itskov and other people called "transhumanists" interpreted these developments as digital immortality. They believe in a couple of decades, the humans will can host their minds in computers, without the necessity of a biologic body. Although the idea can sounds as science fiction, but the neural engineering  is moving much in the technologies development which replace some of the biological brain capacities is the reality.

Many substantial progress have done in the computational brains interfaces campus. An example cochlear implant, where the brain cochlear nerve is electronically stimulated to restore a sound to someone who can't hear easily. Many scientists are working in tho area to fix motor damage, and then avoid damage to the spinal cord or in the nervous system.

Jose Camarena and Michel Maharbiz, engineers in the California Univerity, in Berkeley, are working in the computational brain devices developing. This talks about electrodes as small as pills, which record neuronal signals form the brain electronic areas, and transfers them to a computer to move a robotic arm.

Theodore Berger, neuronal engineer from South California University, is developing a memory prosthesis. He's looking for how to replace the brain's hippocampus, the region that converts short-term momeories to long-term memories in a computerized brain. This device has been tried in mice and monkeys, and is humans will be tasted soon.
