souhrn:
In this presentation a look will be taken at how the use of implant technology is rapidly diminishing the effects of certain neural illnesses and distinctly increasing the range of abilities of those affected. Kevin will look at a number of problem areas in which such technology has already had a profound effect, a key element being the need for a clear interface linking the human brain directly with a computer. The main thrust is however an overview of Kevin's own research, which has led to him receiving a neural implant which linked his nervous system bi-directionally with the Internet. With this in place neural signals were transmitted to various technological devices to directly control them and feedback to the brain was obtained from such as the fingertips of a robot hand and ultrasonic (extra) sensory input. A view will be taken as to the prospects for the future, both in the near term as a therapeutic device and in the long term as a form of enhancement.
