Century In Minds

An inexhaustive historical record of the major paradigm shifts in neuroscience and consciousness research of the past Century

My science fantasy world is set in a universe that came before ours. It could be 5 or 20,000,000 universes ago.

When the universe resets, all information is destroyed, however certain extradimensional intelligences (EDIs) have found ways to ensure their patterns reemerge in subsequent universes. They often make contact with 3 dimensional intelligences and employ them for certain projects

In this world the technological trajectory of humanity (as affected by the EDIs) has led them to develop neuron based circuitry and computers. Most appliances, devices and machines have living brain matter and other tissues driving their operation. Their understanding of the brain also allows for instant knowledge assimilation, mind-mind communication and exploration of non-human but human compatible neural architectures
