The ethics and desirability of "enhancement prosthetics" have been debated; their propo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20756967 |
Cyborg This technology could enable people who are missing a limb or are in a wheelchair the power to control the devices that aide them through neural signals sent from the brain implants directly to computers or the devices. It is possible that this technology will also eventually be used with healthy people. Deep br... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20756967 |
Cyborg ) While work to perfect this technology is still being done, there have already been major advances in the use of electronic stimulation of the retina to allow the eye to sense patterns of light.

Cyborg An article published in "Nature Materials" in 2012 reported a research on "cyborg tissues" (engineered human tissues with embedded three-dimensional mesh of nanoscale wires), with possible medical implications. In 2014, researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and Washington University in ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20756967 |
Cyborg Currently available systems combine a Continuous glucose monitor with an Insulin pump that can be remote controlled, forming a control loop that automatically adjusts the insulin dosage depending on the current blood glucose level. Examples of commercial systems that implement such a control loop are the MiniMed... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20756967 |
Cyborg In 2006, researchers at Cornell University invented a new surgical procedure to implant artificial structures into insects during their metamorphic development. The first insect cyborgs, moths with integrated electronics in their thorax, were demonstrated by the same researchers. The initial success of the techn... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20756967 |
Cyborg This was followed later that year by the demonstration of wireless control of a "lift-assisted" moth-cyborg. Eventually researchers plan to develop HI-MEMS for dragonflies, bees, rats and pigeons. For the HI-MEMS cybernetic bug to be considered a success, it must fly from a starting point, guided via computer in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=20756967 |
Cyborg Nonetheless, one of the main goals of this event and such simple activities is to show how technological enhancements and advanced prosthetic can make a difference in people's lives.
