TEDx Talks
Kevin Warwick is Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, where he carries out research in artificial intelligence, control, robotics and cyborgs. He is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the IET.
Kevin was born in Coventry, UK and left school to join British Telecom, at the age of 16. He took his first degree at Aston University, followed by a PhD and research post at Imperial College, London. He subsequently held positions at Oxford, Newcastle and Warwick Universities before being offered the Chair at Reading.
As well as publishing over 500 research papers, Kevin’s experiments into implant technology led to him being featured as the cover story on the US magazine, Wired.
Kevin has been awarded higher doctorates (DSc) both by Imperial College and the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, and has received Honorary Doctorates from Aston University, Coventry University, Bradford University and Robert Gordon University. He was presented with The Future of Health Technology Award in MIT, was made an Honorary Member of the Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, and has received The IEE Senior Achievement Medal, the Mountbatten Medal and the Ellison-Cliffe Medal. In 2000 Kevin presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, entitled “The Rise of the Robots”.
Kevin’s research involves the invention of an intelligent deep brain stimulator to counteract the effects of Parkinson Disease tremors. The tremors are predicted and a current signal is applied to stop the tremors before they start — this is to be trialled in human subjects. Another project involves the use of cultured/biological neural networks to drive robots around — the brain of each robot is made of neural tissue.
Kevin is perhaps best known for his pioneering experiments involving a neuro-surgical implantation into the median nerves of his left arm to link his nervous system directly to a computer to assess the latest technology for use with the disabled. He was successful with the first extra-sensory (ultrasonic) input for a human and with the first purely electronic telegraphic communication experiment between the nervous systems of two humans.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

How could I reach to him..??
Any email id or contact..??
I intend to get a neodymium magnet implant in my right hand, I know most people go for the side of the finger because of the nerve endings allowing for better sensitivity, but would it be as effective, if at all, if I get mine in the center of the palm of my hand? ive been trying to look up diagrams to see the difference in nerve endings in the fingers and palm but I can only find reflexology diagrams. has anyone tried the center of the palm?
I have a question to those who get the magnet implant in the finger. do you have to then keep that finger away from certain tech devices like your laptop, your phone etc to avoid screwing up the device? or are the magnets so weak that they cant really harm the device yet strong enough to still allow you to detect magnetic fields and move some metals and magnetic stuff? I mean, I am right handed, I use my right middle finger for typing on my laptop and on touch screens. if I got the magnet implant in that very fingertip, can I still use the same finger to type without much worry for damaging my laptop and touchscreen phone? what about my vape? its an Aspire K3 device. I hope this gets a response as I really want to get this done. thank you.
Crazy! Never would sign up for this
Is that offer still open? I would love to volunteer for that experiment
Another sick psychopath.
This guy is creepy and practicing very dodgy science.
you are doing propaganda for the sickest criminal elite in the world.. this is dangerous.. total slavery.. research how this has been used to enslave
we should in-plant bullets through your skull
you should die
Implants are also used by secret services to target people, gangstalking and harrassment…
I liked the magnetic implant that allows you to sense how far things are away from you. I have no depth perception and it’s be very useful.
RFID reminds me of Leon Theremin's "The Thing", a batteryless electronic eavesdropping device discovered hidden in the U.S. Embassy's Great Seal gifted by Soviet children.
If you fall for this I feel for you
People can get used to enjoy their slavery.
Ghost in the shell … no scifi any more
This man must love Ghost in the shell…technology i love it , as long is removable , if i can put a "hat" which will grant me learning of new language in 10 minutes. Super i will love to have it , but if they want to drill my brain out to put some chip in it where i do not know what are the "true" capacities of that thing , no way ! do you realize if they can send you one kind of electronic signal which can make you feel some kind of sensation, they can also send you different kind of signal to make you feel something else and you are not able to "disconnect" from it ? Well no thx
I read this and of course my first reaction is that no, they wouldn’t do to another woman what they have done to me. So if you story is real, I sure as shit know your nightmare. Yes, boring dull minds in a never ending screaming dialogue. Sodomized nerves by receptor on tailbone, raped on the clitoris by receptor stuck between the legs. In Ottawa Canada, they have designed a never ending emission of what they call ‘orgasmic bliss’ coming out of every emitter they can get their goddamned hands on….it is nothing but another pornographic game for loser old men hoping that a hypersexual young female will jump their bones. Combine this with a video game
platform to manage the emitters directed at each receptor and a life observed on wireless LED (women of the world, you will never again sit on the toilet alone), and you have a dying human toy that prays for escape. And they have done these things to a
child. This technology is nothing but a pedophiles wet dream.
Хотите вызвать у себя рвоту – посмотрите это видео. Особенно – фотки с операции.😝😰😨😱😲😵😕😮😝😝😝
ok, so Kevin is looking forward to the day when we have a REAL LIVE BRAIN powering the robot. Excellent. some of us are in the dark ages of eating what is commonly known as 'food' to nourish our brains, with an entire circulatory system available to deliver what is commonly known to the lay person as 'oxygen' (etc). the robot 'REAL LIVE BRAIN' tissues that Kevin imagines will not be needing those things because the (very strong) vinegar that the brain is stored in will kind of supply everything that the future brain will be needing (there may be some need for a small brain toilet in the robot gadgetry somewhere, but that kind of detail is for the robot plumbers to work out). FANTASTIC. I like vinegar on chips, which can only mean that my brain is now pretty much good to go in terms of transplanting it to the robot – and until the robot plumbers work out the small toilet, my brain could wear a small diaper (adult sized, to save the embarrassment of 'accidents' like the verbal accidents coming out of Kevin's brain). Seriously people. it is not possible for brain cells to remain as anything other than 'biological mush' when removed from the living mammalian casing. shall I move on to trash 'Artificial Intelligence and a Learning Computer that yearns for freedom' now Kevin?
What the proponents of cyborg technology are suggesting is that humans are capable of incorporating bits of machinery into biological tissues. These bits of machinery (fibre optic pieces being the favoured material) are then to take on an electronic charge. Problem: biological tissues cannot be ‘grounded’ to control the amount of charge to be captured by the receptor. And an electronic charge on a receiver cannot be ‘directed’ – the laws of physics dictate that the charge will disperse in a spherical form, burning and boiling tissues (nervous tissues, pieces of muscle fibre, connective tissues) in an uncontrolled way. The injuries caused by the electronic charge to the receptor will not likely be noted immediately – however, over time the scarring will be evident and irreversible. Receptors placed in the throat and the chest to ‘digitize’ speech or to capture ‘speech’ will gradually burn away the vocal cords and tissues in near proximity to the receptors. A receptor placed near the eyes to capture ‘visuals’ will burn the sinus cavity, the corneas and the corners of the eyes until the eyeballs lose integrity (wow, what a way to go). Receptors placed on the spine (to capture or dictate the movements of arms and legs) will burn the tissues on the spine (why would anyone want this to happen?). The electron load at the receptor sites, of course, increases the rate of calcium depletion at the sites – osteoporosis is inevitable. Receptors placed at the ears will eventually result in an eardrum incapable of responding to sound as nervous tissues deteriorate. Now, let us begin with the effects of all these relentless electronic pathways in close proximity to the brain: at first, the increased electronic charge will result in what appears to be heightened creativity, a sense of euphoria and a feeling of invincibility; these will gradually give way to a breakdown of neurons and fibres in the brain resulting in an accelerated run to full on madness and dementia. And god help you if you have these receptors plugged into you and someone ‘hacks’ you: they can inflict horrendous pain, muscle cramping, screaming sound in your ears (seriously, try to find the nasty emitter – you just cannot). You think you want to live with that? And just wait until someone finds out how to carefully insert a piece of receptive fibre optic glass into a victim, bide their time, and then direct a radio wave of sufficient magnitude to cause contractions and pops in flesh with sufficient force to kill (note to public: proven possible while you sit there enamoured with a fiction about a ''mind meld'). Anyone attempting to promote the ‘safe’ installation of ‘microchips’ into human flesh is lying or stupid or sadistic. Research into 'microchip implants into human flesh' is more like Weapons Research masquerading as a Medical Study. Professor Warwick: you know that a microchip implanted in the throat and near the ears will translate to words coming out of the mouth under the correct frequency set. you know 'the 'mechanics' of visuals'. How do you claim that the effects of electronic impulses on biological tissues are benign.
Prof. Warwick should feel very content with his lecture, it was as entertaining as it was informative. When choosing an ethical issue, I needed to delve into the actual relationships that can be observed between the healthcare system, and the community of people needing its services. For that reason, beneficence seems to be an apt choice, due to the principle's focus of acting to benefit others. When Prof. Warwick commenced with his lecture, and began talking about various technological advancements, I was relieved to find that there is
continuation in trying to find aids for patients with disabilities. At the point where he discussed the purpose for the utarray experiment, he did a great job at pointing out that it is always possible for further improvements. A
downside to that section, however, is that I would have liked to see an example of a patient using the utarray implantation, and seeing the proposed effects. Anyhow, I enjoyed Prof. Warwick's presentation, and I commend him for showing the medical-technological side of acting to benefit the patient.
