How To Build Your Own Cockroach Cyborg | Popular Science - 1 views

  •  
    bio-robotics anybody?
  •  
    WIRING Poke the left silver wire about one millimeter into the roach's thorax, under a wing just behind its head, and secure it with superglue. Cut each antenna to expose a neuron-lined tube. Insert the middle wire one millimeter into the left tube, and the right wire into the right tube. Superglue both wires into place. CONNECT AND COMMAND Hot-glue the circuit board onto the roach's back and plug it into the head connector. After the roach wakes up, press the remote's left button to urge it right, and the right button to move it left. The cyborg will ignore commands after a few minutes. Peel off the circuit board and clip all wires to ensure a long retirement.

Real-Life Cyborg Astrobiologists to Search for Signs of Life on Future Mars Missions - 0 views

  • EuroGeo team developed a wearable-computer platform for testing computer-vision exploration algorithms in real-time at geological or astrobiological field sites, focusing on the concept of "uncommon mapping"  in order to identify contrasting areas in an image of a planetary surface. Recently, the system was made more ergonomic and easy to use by porting the system into a phone-cam platform connected to a remote server.
  • a second computer-vision exploration algorithm using a  neural network in order to remember aspects of previous images and to perform novelty detection

    Bio-hacking/cyborg: implanting rare-earth magnets into your fingers to sense magnetic fields. At the same time quite awesome and quite extreme.

Scientist controls colleague's hand in first human brain-to-brain interface - 1 views

  •  
    The telepathic cyborg lives, sort of. University of Washington scientists Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco claim that they are the first to demonstrate human brain-to-brain communication. Rao sent a signal into a Stocco's brain via the Internet that caused him to move his right hand.

A Cyborg Space Race - 1 views

  • There is more discussion in the space community on how to alter entire planets to suit humans - a process called "terraforming" - than there is on changing man to suit space.
  • making the machines our "avatars" for space exploration
  • Perhaps a brain implant linking us to our robots would be the next step in space exploration, greatly reducing communication time across the vast expanse of space
