One of the great mysteries to all of science is the brain, and how it gives rise to conscious thought. In order to get a better understanding of the brain, neuroscientists need new tools for analyzing the functioning of neural circuits. Certain technological advances than can record the brain's activity along with controlling it's actions could be the solution for the tools needed. In order to obtain these tools, the Obama administration has an initiative underway designed to promote the manufacturing

It is typically set in the future, in outer space or in a different universe, with advancement in science and technology. Sci-fi also contains a human element that allows the audience to relate to the story, such as the value of friendship, totalitarian and democratic societies, or good and evil.

The tools push the known date of such tools back by 700,000 years; they also may challenge the notion that our own most direct ancestors were the first to bang two rocks together to create a new technology. The tools "shed light on an unexpected and previously unknown period of hominine behavior and can tell us a lot about mental development in our ancestors that we can't understand from fossils alone," said lead author Sonia Harmand, of the Turkana

It is shown that the progression of technology does not occur through tangible objects but through the presence
