Pioneering neural implant work at the University of Reading , UK

The Cybernetics Intelligence Research Group (CIRG) at the University of Reading, UK, is made up of seven full-time academics plus various research assistants and PhD students. We broadly define cybernetic intelligence as the study of intelligence and its applications. Members of CIRG are internationally active in the following areas: embodied machine intelligence (for example, learning mobile robots), neural networks (novel types, their properties and applications), intelligent search (stochastic diffusion, genetic algorithms), intelligent control (including novel optimal control, non-linear control and modelling techniques), applied cognitive systems (including pattern classification and learning classifiers), neuroscience (models of information processing in the brain), and neural implant technology.
