The latest in silicon implants
Article Abstract:
It is important to explore ways of making connections between the human brain and computers, according to Kevin Warwick, professor of cybernetics at Reading University, England. He has already had a silicon chip implanted in his arm for nine days, and now plans to insert a chip in his arm and another in his wife. His chip, operated by electrical impulses carried along his nerve endings, will transmit signals to a computer which will then transmit them to his wife's chip. He enjoyed having a chip in his body, believing that this made him feel much closer to his computer.
