In recent years, blockchain technology has received considerable attention from academia, financiers and governments. Blockchain is considered to be a key disruptive technology for the 21st Century, with a very wide array of application domains that impact all areas of our lives. That such a technology exists just as the world is transitioning towards 6G mobile networks that will offer unprecedented levels of performance, but will come an attendant set of ethical and other implications, is highly fortuitous. We offer in this paper a proposal to integrate blockchain technology into the anticipated 6G feature set to address the problem of ensuring and automating Trust to a high degree.
In recent years, Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology has made great strides, with more capable and less costly systems coming into the market with each passing year. The involvement of Big Tech companies, such as Neuralink2, has firmly catapulted what was a fringe research community, into the mainstream. Most work in this area aims to build more intuitive user interfaces that can be operated by thought alone. We find that there has been relatively little effort towards building BCI systems that attempt to encompass the full range of the human experience, particularly with regards to emotions. This paper is a first attempt at redressing this imbalance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
