This book provides in-depth information about the technical, legal, and policy issues that are raised when humans and artificially intelligent machines are enhanced by technology.

Cyborg: Human and Machine Communication Paradigm helps readers to understand cyborgs, bionic humans, and machines with increasing levels of intelligence by linking a chain of fascinating subjects together, such as the technology of cognitive, motor, and sensory prosthetics; biological and technological enhancements to humans; body hacking; and brain-computer interfaces. It also covers the existing role of the cyborg in real-world applications and offers a thorough introduction to cybernetic organisms, an exciting emerging field at the interface of the computer, engineering, mathematical, and physical sciences.

Brain-Computer Interfaces: In order to treat and substitute human anatomy and physiology and to redress, the technology is used to develop and improve human cognitive and visual capacities on the basis of medical necessities. For starters, interfaces between brain and machine assist individuals with weakening neurological conditions in order to “lock in” their own body. An interaction between a brain and a computer, comprising of electrode registration that is mounted on or incorporated into a person’s brain, helps others who are locked into the capacity to interact with the environment through thinking alone.

In previous choices, prostheses and implants were discussed as innovations that put humans closer to the convergence of artificial smart machines. This chapter presents a new technology that is important to a posthuman age: sensors and sensor networks. Under the law of accelerated returns, drastic advances in sensor technology have taken place in the last two decades, resulting in millions of smaller, quicker, and stronger sensors being introduced into the environment. People today have bracelets or clip-on monitors that monitor their vital signs, for example, their levels of activity and their stress levels; furthermore, some people wear ID badges employees use to monitor their position and allow access into safe buildings. In recent years, developments in digital tattoos mean people will wear provisional, health-conserving epidermal circuits. With continual technical advances, sensors that are currently worn on the body start “flying under the skin” to create an evolving cybernetic class with capabilities beyond those of today’s unenhanced citizens. The properly fitted cyborgs, for example, can sense magnetic fields with implant technology, see infrared light, hear color, engage in telepathy, and increase the universe with knowledge. And with the ongoing exponential development in sensor technologies in tandem with advancements in nanotechnology, automated nanobots will enter the body by the mid-century to restore injured bodies and cells—when it occurs, the number of sensors will grow to trillions. Obviously, in our hypothetical cyborg, sensors will have a crucial role to play.

Academicians, researchers, advanced-level students, and engineers that are interested in the advancements in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and applications of human-computer in the real world will find this book very interesting.
