X-Message-Number: 11029 Date: Mon, 4 Jan 1999 17:08:49 -0500 From: Bozzonetti <> Subject: K-Sandrix K-Sandrix, an extended biography K-Sandrix is a project, run by a friend, whose the main objective is to produce extensive biographies. In the current cryonics context in France, even in the best case we must take into account the effect of a long ischemic phase at room temperatureWhatever is done after that, we may well have lost a large part of the memory content. So, it would be interesting to have a non-brain back-up for as much informations as possible. The first step in that way has been with a biography service. Two such biographies have been produced in 1998.They are "paper memories", the next step, for 1999 is to add a large CD-ROM set to each new biography. CD-ROM will include sounds/voice, pictures and may be dynamics hand writting. The ultimate objective would be to build back the neural paterns controling learned activities such speaking, writting,... The final step in the project is based on an experiment by Hewlett Packard on continuous monitoring: A computer stores everything you hear or see. Day after day, it produces a movie of your life and a total recall memory. That possibility becomes more credible with the annouce by IBM of a pocket computer with voice command and screen on glasses. With a Quick-cam, that computer could take one frame every few second, compress it and store the picture on its micro-disk. Every day, the memory content would be dumped on a larger desk-top PC. That full system may be in large use five years from now... If you are interested in the K-Sandrix project or want your own biography, please let me know. Yvan Bozzonetti.
