2. BIONICS The making of Cyberman

3. BIONICS  Hardware or machine parts implanted in the human body and acting as an interface between our central nervous system and the computer or machinery connected to it.  We can approach this field in two different angles which are INTERFACES and PROSTHETICS.

4. NEURON & CNS  A neuron has 3 main parts which are Soma, Dendrites, Axon  The CNS has 3 parts Periphery, Spinal chord, Brain NEURON

5. INTERFACES  Devices to study brain signals  The interfaces developed so far are : 1. Visual keyboard 2. Biomuse  FUTURE : Transmission of information by human contact (Personal Area Network -- PAN )

6. PROSTHETICS  Goal : To connect any mechanical part to human brain and have it function as a normal organ  Bionic Limbs  Bionic ears  Bionic eyes  Bionic senses  Bionic organs and Bionic tissue

7. BIONIC LIMBS  Socket : Electrodes  Pressure sensors  Advantages  Implemented at research hospitals at JHMI and MIT

8. BIONIC EARS Or COCHLEAR IMPLANTS  Working of the human ear  Cochlear Implant  Disadvantages and Advantages  Future : Tune to different radio stations

9. BIONIC EYES  Working of a human eye  Bionic eye  Advantages and Disadvantages  Future : Supervision, Zoom, action replay, Store

10. FUTURE PROSTHETICS  Bionic Senses : Attempts to recreate the sensation of touch (sensation of pain, vibration, pressure and temperature)  Bionic Organs : Bionic heart, Bionic lungs, Bionic air filters  Bionic Tissue

11. PROBLEMS FACED  Sensory organs are simple but the entire sensory SYSTEMS are complex  Pattern matching of the brain is complex  Each person’s brain is unique  Biocompatibility problem

12. FUTURONICS  MILITARY : Augmented soldiers  Entertainment  Education  Very soon video conferencing will be a passe because with this technology you can actually “be there” as far as your brain is concerned  Future generations may have the choice to opt either a bionic body member or a human one
