Cyborg(Cybernetic Organism): Part human, part machine

Meet Mr.Kevin Warwick , the first HUMAN CYBORG. Being a Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, England, he carries out research in artificial intelligence, control, robotics and biomedical engineering.

What makes him unique is that: He has been fitted with cyborg technology, enabling his nervous system to be linked to a computer. Surgeons have fitted a small silicon chip into his left wrist and its electrodes are connected to the median nerve. Connecting wires are implanted under the skin of the forearm and are fed to the computer through a small puncture on the wrist. The wires are linked to a transmitter/receiver device to relay nerve messages to a computer by radio signal. These signals, encoding movements like movement of fingers and feelings like shock and pain, will be transmitted to a computer and recorded for the first time.
