Brief Overview: What Is Cyborg Communication Channels Brain-Computer Interfacing Applications Future Fantasy

The document discusses cyborgs and brain-computer interfaces. It defines a cyborg as a part machine, part human system and notes that Professor Kevin Warwick was the first cyborg after having a silicon chip implanted in his arm for a research project. The document also outlines potential applications of brain-computer interfaces such as thought communication and creating "super humans." It speculates that direct brain-computer links could be a next step in human evolution.

Cybernetics is a theory of the
communication and control of regulatory
feedback.

The term cybernetics stems from the


Greek kubernetis meaning "Steersman".

It recognizes random events where a


simple change in a complex system would
have far reaching implications leading
to radical change in entire system 3

•KEVIN WARWICK

•PROFESSOR OF CYBERNETIC
University of Reading,U.K

• First Cyborg.

• In 1998,implanted a silicon chip


transponder in his left arm.

• Initiated project Cyborg

8
THE SILICON CHIP

•An individual implanted with a silicon chip


gives out a unique code,identifying the
individual.

•Can carry huge amounts of data.

•Can replace an access visa or banker’s card .

•Carries the ability of being updated where


necessary. 9
CHIP IMPLANT

•Silicon chip transponder implanted in professor


Warwick's left arm.

•Implant was encased in a glass tube.

•The chip receives signals and sends them to a


computer

The Boston Elbow
• It is an artificial arm that is powered by
battery and controlled by signals
originating from the amputee's muscle
stump

13
Artificial leg with feedback
mechanism
• It is a prosthetic device equipped with
pressure and temperature sensors. These
sensors give a feedback to the body. Such
feedback mechanisms are important,
especially in the leg prosthetic as it helps
to keep posture and in maintaining
balance.
14
Artificial Heart
•'Liotta heart‘
•'Jarvik-7'
•'Jarvik 2000'.
•Latest model of Artificial heart is
the 'AbioCor'

Heart Assist pumps

Implantable Defibrillators
