Kevin Warwick

Knowledge and technology are changing us and Kevin Warwick is a real example of it.

Kevin Warwick talks about ultra-sonic senses, brain-to-brain telepathic communication, the therapeutic benefits of his experiments and why he won’t be the only cyborg on this planet in the future. Cyborg technology: a reality that might change human evolution.
Kevin Warwick has carried out a series of pioneering experiments involving the neuro-surgical implantation of a device into the median nerves of his left arm in order to link his nervous system directly to a computer in order to assess the latest technology for use with the disabled. He has been successful with the first extra-sensory (ultrasonic) input for a human and with the first purely electronic communication experiment between the nervous systems of two humans. In 1998, when Kevin Warwick, researcher and Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, England, implanted a silicon chip transponder into his left arm and connected it to his nervous system, he became the world’s first cyborg: a man-machine hybrid.
