Book excerpt: Do you want to know about Artificial Vision? Do you need insights on the possibility of replacing a damaged eye? Are you the explorer who would like to learn about recent discoveries in the tech world? Do you even have a robot and you always wonder how its eye would look like on a human? Then, look no further: This book "THE BIONIC EYE: Guide to Bionic Eye, Robotic Eye, Prosthetic Eye and How they will Soon Make Us Superhumans" is your sure content to devour. Bionic eyes are implanted to replace natural eyes. They use various types of technology, depending on the specific eye or prototype. In 2012, a rudimentary version of a bionic eye was first implanted. This is a new technology, but so far, the promise that it shows could result in the restoration of sight for people who would otherwise be dealing with permanent vision loss. As there are continued explorations regarding bionic eyes and the technology evolves, various lenses and other options are becoming available. Such research could result in bionic eye options for numerous causes of vision loss in the future. In this book, you will get to know about: The meaning of a bionic eye and how it looks like The present status of the bionic eye technology The future of the bionic eye technology Bionic Eye Implant Robotic Cataract Surgery How the robotic eyeball might outperform the human eyes very soon And many more superheroes sturvs! Since this technology is new, there are many directions that bionic eyes could take. For now, learning about what is available and some potential enhancements will give you a clearer picture about how bionic eyes may help people in the future. GET THIS BOOK NOW!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at electricity and its powerful role in life on Earth When we think of electricity, we likely imagine the energy humming inside our home appliances or lighting up our electronic devices—or perhaps we envision the lightning-streaked clouds of a stormy sky. But electricity is more than an external source of power, heat, or illumination. Life at its essence is nothing if not electrical. The story of how we came to understand electricity’s essential role in all life is rooted in our observations of its influences on the body—influences governed by the body’s central nervous system. Spark explains the science of electricity from this fresh, biological perspective. Through vivid tales of scientists and individuals—from Benjamin Franklin to Elon Musk—Timothy Jorgensen shows how our views of electricity and the nervous system evolved in tandem, and how progress in one area enabled advancements in the other. He explains how these developments have allowed us to understand—and replicate—the ways electricity enables the body’s essential functions of sight, hearing, touch, and movement itself. Throughout, Jorgensen examines our fascination with electricity and how it can help or harm us. He explores a broad range of topics and events, including the Nobel Prize–winning discoveries of the electron and neuron, the history of experimentation involving electricity’s effects on the body, and recent breakthroughs in the use of electricity to treat disease. Filled with gripping adventures in scientific exploration, Spark offers an indispensable look at electricity, how it works, and how it animates our lives from within and without.

Book excerpt: As he did in New York Times bestseller Robopocalypse, Daniel Wilson masterfully envisions a stunning world where superhuman technology and humanity clash in surprising—and thrilling—ways. It’s the near future, and scientists have developed implants that treat brain dysfunction—and also make recipients capable of superhuman feats. Exploiting societal fears of the newly enhanced, politicians pass a set of laws to restrict the rights of “amplified” humans, instantly creating a new persecuted underclass known as “amps.” On the day that the Supreme Court passes the first of these laws, twenty-nine-year-old schoolteacher Owen Gray is forced into hiding, only dimly aware of the latent powers he possesses. To escape imprisonment, and to find out who he really is, Owen seeks out a community in Oklahoma where, it is rumored, a group of the most enhanced amps may be about to change the world—or destroy it.

Book excerpt: Engineers and ethicists participated in a workshop to discuss the responsible development of new technologies. Presenters examined four areas of engineering-sustainability, nanotechnology, neurotechnology, and energy-in terms of the ethical issues they present to engineers in particular and society as a whole. Approaches to ethical issues include: analyzing the factual, conceptual, application, and moral aspects of an issue; evaluating the risks and responsibilities of a particular course of action; and using theories of ethics or codes of ethics developed by engineering societies as a basis for decision making. Ethics can be built into the education of engineering students and professionals, either as an aspect of courses already being taught or as a component of engineering projects to be examined along with research findings. Engineering practice workshops can also be effective, particularly when they include discussions with experienced engineers. This volume includes papers on all of these topics by experts in many fields. The consensus among workshop participants is that material on ethics should be an ongoing part of engineering education and engineering practice.

Book excerpt: This book presents and analyses the most recent research dedicated to restoring vision in individuals who are severely impaired or blind from retinal disease or injury. It is written by the leading groups worldwide who are at the forefront of developing artificial vision. The book begins by discussing the difficulties in comparing and interpreting functional results in the area of very low vision and the principal prospects and limitations of spatial resolution with artificial tools. Further on, chapters are included by researchers who stimulate the surface or the pigment epithelial side of the retina and by experts who work on stimulating the optic nerve, the lateral geniculate body and the superficial layers of the visual cortex. Artificial Vision: A Clinical Guide collates the most recent work of key artificial vision research groups to explain in a comparable and stringent order their varying approaches, the clinical or preclinical outcomes and their achievements during the last years. Senior ophthalmic fellows and academic practitioners will find this guide to be an indispensable resource for understanding the current status of artificial vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Brain Implant Brain implants are technical devices that link directly to the brain of a biological subject. These devices are often put on the surface of the brain or affixed to the cortex of the brain. Brain implants are also sometimes referred to as neural implants. Establishing a biomedical prosthesis that can bypass regions of the brain that have become dysfunctional as a result of a stroke or other head traumas is one of the primary goals of contemporary brain implants, which is also the primary focus of most of the research being done today. This involves the replacement of a sense, such as in the case of vision. In animal research, other types of brain implants are sometimes employed for the sole purpose of recording brain activity for scientific purposes. The creation of interfaces between neural systems and computer chips is required for some types of brain implants. This study is being done in the context of a larger research topic known as brain?computer interfaces. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Brain implant Chapter 2: Cyberware Chapter 3: Brain?computer interface Chapter 4: BrainGate Chapter 5: Neuroprosthetics Chapter 6: Remote control animal Chapter 7: Neural engineering Chapter 8: Single-unit recording Chapter 9: Hybrot Chapter 10: Mark Gasson Chapter 11: Visual prosthesis Chapter 12: Microelectrode array Chapter 13: Cyborg Chapter 14: Neurotrophic electrode Chapter 15: Hippocampal prosthesis Chapter 16: Brain technology Chapter 17: Stent-electrode recording array Chapter 18: Chronic electrode implant Chapter 19: Cortical implant Chapter 20: Neuralink Chapter 21: Neural dust (II) Answering the public top questions about brain implant.
