An all-chain-wireless brain-to-brain system (BTBS), which enabled motion control of a cyborg cockroach via human brain, was developed in this work. Steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) based brain-computer interface (BCI) was used in this system for recognizing human motion intention and an optimization algorithm was proposed in SSVEP to improve online performance of the BCI. The cyborg...

In 1974, not long after an antenna was implanted in his skull, the British artist Neil Harbisson became the first person in history to be officially recognized as a cyborg.1 A cyborg—short for cybernetic organism—is a living thing formed from the integration of organic and mechanical parts. Before becoming a cyborg, Harbisson struggled as an art student afflicted with achromatopsia, an extremel...

Fig. 1. Prototype of the cyborg, the final version will feature a casing hiding the electronics. Humans often use green plants as furniture in their built environments. More generally, the status of plants as living beings is highly dependent on their lack of mobility. The goal of this project, which is a collaboration between artists and roboticists, is to lead the general public to a question...

In joint work since 2004 we have created a family of agent-based models for financial markets in which bubbles and crashes occur in imitation of real markets. The evolution of behavioral rules in these models has shed light on some possible mechanisms used by human account managers or traders. Our programming environment, NetLogo, has proved ideal for this work, and also offers a feature, HubNe...

Mind model consciousness and memory (CAM) is a biologically inspired mind model, which is a general framework for human-level intelligent systems. Consciousness module plays very important role in mind model CAM. This paper presents architecture of machine consciousness containing awareness, attention, motivation, metacognition, introspective learning and global work‐ space modules. The propose...

Computer mediated communication (CMC) is fundamentally different from other modes of informational exchange. The presence of those with whom one communicates is not completely known. Their identities are in question, easily created, and changed by CMC users themselves who are not constricted by geographical or political boundaries. CMC represents a new form of communication—a “cyborg discourse”...

We present results from the first geological field tests of the ‘Cyborg Astrobiologist’, which is a wearable computer and video camcorder system that we are using to test and train a computer-vision system towards having some of the autonomous decision-making capabilities of a field-geologist and field-astrobiologist. The Cyborg Astrobiologist platform has thus far been used for testing and dev...
