The idea is that of the earth not only becoming covered by myriads of grains of thought, but becoming enclosed in a single thinking envelope...grouping themselves together and reinforcing one another in the act of a single unanimous reflection... thanks to the prodigious biological event represented by the discovery of electro-magnetic waves, each individual finds himself simultaneously present in every corner of the earth." - Teilhard de Chardin
The Neurosphere Institute is a non-profit research and consulting organization. Our primary focus is on technologies and information sources that illustrate and contribute to the interconnectedness of people. See the book Neurosphere for more on the philosophy of this approach, based on the noosphere concept of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. This Web site is intended to be one tool to help illustrate the existence of such a noosphere. A near term research goal is to design a better interface to The World Right Now.
