I believe that our minds can also be likened to ecosystems. Our minds/mental processes are not singular, rather they are the result of many different neural structures' cooperation. In the future, better neural-imaging technology will help us learn how to betterly coordinate our mind. I want to start trying meditation and tai chi.

In CLL/SLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma) the heterogeneity is extreme with varying drug treatment response and relapse due to how the differing cancer cell clones react in the tumor microenvironments of the bone marrow and lymphnodes. Tools like this are critically needed to document and define what happens in these microenvironments prior, during and post treatment with different treatment drug protocols. We can only hope the funding will exist to push this technology forward. All cancers are heterogeneous to some degree.

We will finally see and experience the living ecosystems that each of us are, and understand ourselves in ways we never dreamed. There is the "I" and there is the "we."

Replace cells with their artificial equivalent at the same rate as organic cells, and you maintain continuity of consciousness. No sharp divide between old and new. I like this idea.

Congratulations to the scientific community. Your innovation is greatly appreciated. Nevertheless, all this progress is threatened by novice politicians in Washington, D.C. The $16 trillion deficit, created by the politicians themselves (in both parties) can substantially slow scientific and technological progress. It's extremely important that everytime we vote, we make an effort to elect politicians that really have professional skills in the Constitution, History, Economics and Leadership. This is fantastic.

I can see after maybe several more generations along this path, being able to scan an entire living brain and then build its silicon processing equal. Then replace small sections of organic brain, a little bit at a time, until my brain can outlive my body. (Just don't so it all at once.) How can I help to move this research along?

Being able to see these miniscle biological processes as they occur in living tissue in near normal environments is transformative. It will accelerate our understanding of the unseen biological world. Absolutely breathtaking! I don’t know about you guys but this breakthrough is awesome.
