	Kevin Warwick
		Professor Kevin Warwick, a professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading, has had a chip placed in his arm, to receive and transmit signals from his nervous system, as well as producing signals of its own.
		Professor Warwick has made dramatic claims about the importance of his research and the threat of increasing machine intelligence.
		Warwick's latest foray into controversy revolves around his stated plans to implant an "anti-kidnap" chip into an eleven year old girl, capitalising on recent child murders in England.

	BBC NEWS \| In Depth \| Newsmakers \| Kevin Warwick: Saviour of humankind?
		Professor Warwick's department has previously collaborated with the hospital on helping people overcome disabilities through technical aids; and it is hoped the experiment could eventually enable amputees to feel limb sensations again, or allow blind people to navigate around objects with ultrasonic radar, much as bats do.
		And Kevin Warwick contends that a possible way for humans to escape this grim future is to evolve as cyborgs.
		Professor Warwick left school at 16 and spent six years with British Telecom before embarking on an academic career in which he acquired a doctorate from Imperial College, London, and held posts at Oxford, Newcastle and Warwick universities before being offered the Chair at Reading at the age of 32.

		Kevin Warwick is a professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom and is one of the leading experts in machine intelligence.
		Warwick is effusive about the (often scarily fascistic) possibilities and has suggested that gun owners could get implanted to keep them from entering schools or other areas where heavily armed people may be unwelcome (he stops short of advocating this though).
		Kevin Warwick is on the board of this institute, which seeks "to foster, develop and promote all aspects of nanotechnology in those domains where dimensions and tolerances in the range 0.1nm to 100 nm play a critical role." Now that's small.

	Kevin Warwick - One scary dude
		Warwick's website states that "Kevin Warwick has taken the first steps...using himself as a guinea pig test subject receiving, by surgical operation, technological implants connected to his central nervous system...Overriding everything, at the expense of a normal life, is Kevin's all encompassing scientific quest and desire to be a Cyborg...part human part machine."
		Warwick achieved a degree of dark notoriety back in 1998 when he became the first person to publicly announce he had had a microchip implanted in his flesh.
		Not content to stop there, Warwick then had himself surgically sliced open so that a "micro electrode array" could be inserted into his left arm.

		On Friday, Warwick, 48, denied claims that the surgery, which was carried out at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, England, was just a publicity stunt.
		Warwick also hopes to wire himself up to a ultrasonic sensor, used by robots to navigate around objects, to give himself a bat-like sixth sense.
		He believes the technique could be developed within a decade to restore movement to a tetraplegic's hand or feeling to a prosthetic leg used by an amputee.

		Warwick credit for drawing up arguments that in the past has been dismissed due to ego and ignorance.
		His conclusions on what the world may be like when machines can compete against humans on more than one plane draws a sinsiter and maybe unpleasant future but the development of science and technology also paves way for a hybrid of human and machine intellgence that may help in the cause.

		The example of Kevin Warwick is comparable to Olalquiaga's "Crystal Palace" by way of serving as a foundation for the expansion of cybernetics, i.e.
		For instance, Warwick had a silicon chip surgically implanted into his left arm, and was able to move about Reading University and automatically engage sensors that caused doors to open and lights to turn on.
		Warwick's "desire" to be a cyborg is dictated by the "future assumption" of organic and technological fusion.

	generation5 - Are we destined to become one with machines? Notes on a Kevin Warwick Talk
		On the 10th November 2004, Kevin Warwick came to the University of Leeds to give a talk entitled ‘Cyborg Engineering - Practical experiments with implant technology.’ Kevin is currently a Professor or Cybernetics at the University of Reading, where he has completed two implant experiments.
		However, Kevin felt that the mode of highly parallel, accurate and efficient communication methods employed by computers was perhaps far superior to our human modes of communication.
		Kevin has considered such issues and tackled them in his research, and much of the talk was taken up by describing this work.

	The Austin Chronicle Screens: Fomenting Evolution: Kevin Warwick and "I, Cyborg'
		Warwick was cautious enough to have the implant removed 10 days later.
		These implants, combined with the media frenzy that seems to follow Warwick everywhere he goes, have made him an extremely controversial character in his native England, where he is often referred to as "Captain Cyborg." Undeterred by his detractors, Warwick marches on to the bugle call of Big Science.
		If Warwick is right, and becoming a machine-head is the next stage of human evolution, then mere humans may go the way of the dodos.

		In a series of tests over the next few weeks, Warwick will move individual fingers, for example, and the activity of motor neurons will be recorded.
		The type of array implanted in Warwick's arm is being used in animals for basic neuroscience research, to investigate the concurrent activity of up to 100 neurons.
		Warwick says he hopes such neural prostheses could be used to restore sensory and motor functions lost by spinal injury, other neurological lesions or limb amputation.

	Kevin Warwick - I want to be a cyborg - What The Wiki?!
		According to Kevin Warwick, Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading in the UK, humans should try to benefit from the higher capabilities of computers by linking their nervous systems to these machines.
		Warwick has experimented with his own nervous system, because he is convinced that unless humans start to improve their own mathematical skills, networking capabilities and memory by using those of computers more effectively, machines might get the better of us and take over the world eventually.
		The robot did react, and Warwick felt a sensation that was new to him.

		Meeting skeptics head on, Warwick goes beyond his penetrating attacks on their assumptions and prejudices about what should be considered as intelligence to reveal what he has already achieved: building robots that communicate in their own language, share experiences, teach each other lessons, and behave as they wish with regard to human beings.
		Kevin Warwick is professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading, UK, having previously held appointments at Oxford, Warwick and Newcastle Universities and Imperial College, London.
		Kevin's new implant experiment called 'Project Cyborg' got underway in March 2002 and is providing exciting results.

	Cyborg 1.0
		This is the question that Professor Kevin Warwick and his team at the the department of Cybernetics, University of Reading intend to answer with 'Project Cyborg'.
		This experiment allowed a computer to monitor Kevin Warwick as he moved through halls and offices of the Department of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, using a unique identifying signal emitted by the implanted chip.
		Professor Kevin Warwicks answer to these questions is quite simply "We don't have an idea - yet, but if this experiment has the possiblility to help even one person, it is worth doing just to see what might happen".
