Tremendously exciting!

February 8, 2008 - 12:26 — Mirweis Sangin

I was looking forward to hear the talk of Kevin "Cyborg" Warwick and as I expected, it was "tremendously exciting". The guy with neural chips as "bling-bling" gadgets completely rocked and placed the bar really high this second Lift-day. In few words, Warwick and his wife were implanted with chips connected to their neural system during 3 months of intense experimentation. He was, among others, able to remotely send "signals" to a computer and by extension through internet to a robot or his wife. He also was able to receive "signals" transformed into electrical impulses. He was thus able to "extend his sensory range" and detect (feel) objects located around him (it took 6 weeks to his brain to learn to interpret the electrical impulse). Tremendously exciting!!
