As nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science advance, researchers are now discovering new ways to integrate their findings (see NBIC research grants) This convergence will bring new approaches to what are currently very diverse areas of research - converging technology platforms, physical and mental performance, human-machine interface, human cognition and communication, learning, work efficiency, and many others.

If you are interested in staying on the cutting edge of converging technologies then the NBIC 2005 conference being held on February 24th & 25th at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, Kailua-Kona, HI is the place to be.
