6 examples of body hacking and their possible future evolutions
Body hacking will be an increasingly popular practice. Here is how we are already transforming our body and what future developments will be.
Biodegradable circuits release pain relievers into the body
A team from the Polytechnic University of Lausanne, Switzerland, works on biodegradable circuits capable of administering a local anesthetic on demand for many days.
Blind student is a transhumanist reference in Russia
He was disfigured at age 14: today Evgeny Nekrasov sleeps 2 hours a night, has an illegally implanted chip and is a transhumanist reference in Russia.
Electronic contact lenses zoom in at the blink of an eye
The possible uses of electronic contact lenses? Many: from visual prostheses to self-adjusting glasses or remote robotic operations.
Bionic three-toed foot improves the stability of amputees
The device, developed with a new rapid prototyping technique that allows to cut costs and times, can help almost 12 million people amputate worldwide
With AI this device allows you to isolate only the voice of who you want to listen to
researchers have developed an AI model capable of coding and separating many voices present in an environment, comparing the vocal pattern obtained with the listener's brain waves and amplifying only the one that corresponds most.
Neural interface translates thoughts into synthetic words
Researchers at the University of San Francisco have developed a neural interface that allows patients without the use of speech to “speak” through the device.
Singularity: Kurzweil expects intelligent computers as humans within 12 years.
According to futurologist and Google chief engineer Ray Kurzweil, the singularity is approaching by leaps and bounds. “By 2029, computers will have the same level of intelligence as humans.” This is the statement made in a recent interview at the SXSW Conference. What is the singularity? (It is always good to remember this) It is a process-event that will bring the intelligence of computers to a higher level than that of human beings. And according to leading experts on the subject it seems to be getting closer over time. Even the theoretical physicist Stephen… Read more
Subcutaneous microchips arrive
Once upon a time we joked about the presence of subcutaneous microchips implanted by the State without the citizens' knowledge, but today all of this (or almost all of it) could become reality. Soon, technical prostheses could outperform natural joints, our senses will be augmented by devices implanted under the skin and artificial intelligence will be able to modify itself spontaneously. The first attempts to achieve this were seen at the TAG in Milan, where some people had a microchip implanted in their hand. Singularity University organized… Read more
Here is the new artificial skin from MIT
MIT in Boston, Massachusetts has successfully created the first artificial skin. This new development could lead to huge advances in prosthetic technology and treatments for burns and other skin injuries. How is artificial leather made? Artificial skin is made from sheets of collagen that have been coated with a special type of sugar molecule. When this artificial skin is implanted under human skin, it bonds with the natural tissue of… Read more
Google Glass to cure Autism
The Autism Glass Project is a laboratory at the School of Medicine: in a small office in the administration building, researchers Catalin Voss and Nick Haber are bringing together facial recognition technology and artificial intelligence to create new autism treatments. The second phase will involve 100 young people to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments, which can also be carried out at home. The goal is to create a sort of "translator of emotions" capable of providing children with a "dictionary" of moods in real time... Read more
A bionic leg guided by thought and chasing a record.
Zac Vawter lost a leg in an accident 3 years ago and since then he has been through an ordeal looking for a prosthesis (he calls it a 'fake leg') which for him had satisfactory answers close to those of a real leg. So the thirty-one-year-old software engineer from Washington signed up in 2010 as a volunteer tester in a research program with the aim of creating a thought-guided bionic leg. The Rehabilitation Institute of the Medical Center… Read more
The robotic arm of DARPA ready in 4 years.
When over the last 5 years we reported news on DARPA's robotic arm (if you feel like it, the old site is available), we talked about advanced prototypes: today we can talk, with satisfaction, about clinical tests: it is the future. No later than two weeks ago, American health bodies approved the protocol that will allow volunteers to obtain the implant of a bionic arm: on the front line, once again, soldiers wounded in war. They will be the ones to experiment… Read more
Neuroscientist Ehrsson: “We will leave our body.” Is Mind Uploading a reality?
The Swedish neuroscientist Henrik Ehrsson has demonstrated that the image our brain has of the body can be 'negotiated'.
