Future

We are aggregating interviews from a large pool of neuroscientists asking them what they envisage for the future of neuroscience. SciPle algorithm will parse those interviews and produce a visualization of the most likely future scenario of the neuroscience field.

We asked our interviewees what they envisage for the future of neuroscience.

Selected keywords (“genes”,”molecules”, “synapse” …  up to “self”) found in the interviews were arbitrarily assigned to different levels of analysis (TOPIC – from molecular to mind-psychic level). The frequency (%) of these topics were reported in the middle panel [DATA -  with the systems topic scoring the highest frequency (38.5%)].

Right panel reports the approaches and techniques that the interviewees envisage for the future of neuroscience. Colored bars extent show at what level of analysis the technique may be applied.
