- Most dictionaries don't contain a definition for cyberware. This is unsurprising in this relatively new and unknown field. In science fiction circles, however, it is commonly known to mean the hardware or machine parts implanted in the human body and acting as an interface between our central nervous system and the computers or machinery connected to it. More formally: Cyberware is technology that attempts to create a working interface between machines/computers and the human nervous system, including (but not limited to) the brain. Examples of potential cyberware cover a wide range, but current research tends to approach the field from one of two different angles: Interfaces or Prosthetics. Interfaces - The first variety attempts to connect directly with the brain. Prosthetics - The second variety of cyberware consists of a more modern form of the rather old field of prosthetics. How Wetware Can Help Hardware Makers Beat Moore's Law, Save Energy.

Humans may not use all of the brain's computing capacity, but they do use most of the cranium for computing, according to biophysicist Bruno Michel at IBM's Zurich research laboratory.

Co-located cortices and capillaries keep our neurons powered and cooled with minimal fuss. Yet today's computers dedicate around 60 percent of their volume to getting electricity in and heat out compared to perhaps 1 percent in a human brain, Michel estimates. Last week in Zurich, he told journalists about IBM's long-term plan to help computers achieve human-like space- and energy efficiency. The tool: a kind of electronic blood. Liquid cooling has been on the market since Cray tried it on for size in 1985. Michel describes that as the bottleneck for supercomputing: "In the future we are worried about the energy bill and not about the purchase cost of a computer.

Meet wetware, your next tech obsession. In spite of this, they certainly have their own set of emerging safety issues, from malicious bio-hacking to changing concepts of identity, and hypothetical “who watches the watchmen?”

Scenarios. While the invasiveness of implantables might seem daunting, the appeal lies in their integrated, invisible nature. Requiring less active user monitoring, though perhaps a good deal more faith in the people who made them. With the progress we’ve made in piezoplastics and biotech, we’re more stoked about the future of implantables than a glorified iSwatch. Our bodies are ready, but is the mind willing? Project Underskin is a sub-dermal tattoo that uses touch to connect you with day-to-day objects in your immediate environment. Wetware computer - Wikipedia. A wetware computer is an organic computer (also known as an artificial organic brain or a neurocomputer) built from living neurons.

Professor Bill Ditto, at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is the primary researcher driving the creation of these artificially constructed, but still organic brains. One prototype is constructed from leech neurons, and is capable of performing simple arithmetic operations. The concepts are still being researched and prototyped, but in the near future, it is expected that artificially constructed organic brains, even though they are still considerably simpler in design than animal brains, should be capable of simple pattern recognition tasks such as handwriting recognition.

See also[edit] References[edit] Wetware (brain) - Wikipedia. Wetware is a term drawn from the computer-related idea of hardware or software, but applied to biological life forms.

Here the prefix "wet" is a reference to the water found in living creatures. Wetware is used to describe the elements equivalent to hardware and software found in a person, namely the central nervous system (CNS) and the human mind. The term wetware finds use both in works of fiction and in scholarly publications. [citation needed] The "hardware" component of wetware concerns the bioelectric and biochemical properties of the CNS, specifically the brain.

With the term getting traction in trendsetting publications, it became a buzzword in the early 1990s. Here Comes The Wetware. Throw out your touchscreens, kibosh your Kinects: thought-controlled computing is the new new thing.

Brain-computer interface technology has been simmering for years, and seems finally ready to bubble out of research labs and into the real world. Earlier this year, friends of mine at the Toronto art space Site3 built a thought-controlled flamethrower, for fun. (Don’t you hate how it’s always the friends you least want to have the power to project torrents of flame with a flick of their mind who always get it?) Toronto has long been a hub for brain computing, in part because legendary cyborg Steve Mann is a University of Toronto engineering professor. Grinder biohacking.

In November 2015, Grindhouse members Tim Cannon, Shawn Sarver, Justin Worst, Jessica Waldrip, Michael Seeler, and Marlo Webber had prototypes of Grindhouse’s Northstar device implanted into during simultaneous procedures occurring at the “Cyborg Fair” in Dusseldorf, Germany and at a studio in Pittsburgh.

The implantation procedure was featured in an episode of the MTV documentary series True Life. Also featured in the episode was the public debut of the morse code functionality of Grindhouse’s Bottlenose device at the first Pittsburgh Maker Faire.[8] Projects[edit] References[edit] The Beginner’s Guide to Biohacking – Better Humans.

It is a form of biohacking (qv) focusing on the brain and CNS. Strictly speaking it is any method of manipulating or interfering with the structure and/or function of neurons for improvement or repair. Reasons[edit] Mental health[edit] The main goal of neurohacking is optimal mental health.

His blue-blocker shades rested on the table next to him.

(He believes the glasses protect his circadian rhythm from the glow emitted by his phone’s screen.) All morning, he came off as hyperfocused and articulate, able to speak in complete (and compelling) paragraphs about his esoteric health interests. But he was also in constant motion — crossing and uncrossing his legs, adjusting his posture and clearing his throat. Eventually, he revealed that before our meeting, he dosed himself with a cocktail of substances to enhance his cognitive function. Asprey says he finally lost faith in Western medicine at 23, when a doctor told him that vitamin C could kill him.

His poor health didn’t hold back his career. Photo In the ’90s, Asprey studied a form of information management called a decision support system at California State University, Stanislaus.
