The Age Of Cyborgs Is Coming

The latest era of science could be considered the Age of Cyborgs, according to scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

Cyborgs, or cybernetic organisms, may seem like a science fiction movie, but scientists writing in the journal Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed say the day of cyborg creations is coming. To be clearer, the scientists arent saying to expect Terminators walking around, but instead cyborg research is being focused on medical implants.

Scientists have been researching medical implants based on smart materials that are able to react to changing conditions automatically. The KIT team says that developments combining technical devices with organisms have great potential to considerably improve the quality of life of many people.

Currently, scientists are working on brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) for the direct physical contacting of the brain. This would be used to help control prostheses and complex movements, such as gripping. BMIs would also be an important tool for neuroscientists to provide a good look into the function of the brain.

BMIs can be used to feed signals into the brain, but this idea has been highly controversial when considering the ethics of what is going on.

Implanted BMI that feed signals into nerves, muscles or directly into the brain are already used on a routine basis, e.g. in cardiac pacemakers or implants for deep brain stimulation, Professor Christof M. Niemeyer, said in a statement. But these signals are neither planned to be used nor suited to control the entire organism brains of most living organisms are far too complex.

Last year, researchers created a device that essentially hacks a cockroachs brain, enabling the insects movements to be controlled by an iPhone. PETA spoke up against the project a few months later with concerns about the ethics involved in creating these cyborg insects.

The Age Of Cyborgs Is Coming

The cyborg era has started

Jan. 10, 2014 Medical implants, complex interfaces between brain and machine or remotely controlled insects: Recent developments combining machines and organisms have great potentials, but also give rise to major ethical concerns. In a new review, KIT scientists discuss the state of the art of research, opportunities, and risks.

They are known from science fiction novels and films -- technically modified organisms with extraordinary skills, so-called cyborgs. This name originates from the English term "cybernetic organism." In fact, cyborgs that combine technical systems with living organisms are already reality. The KIT researchers Professor Christof M. Niemeyer and Dr. Stefan Giselbrecht of the Institute for Biological Interfaces 1 (IBG 1) and Dr. Bastian E. Rapp, Institute of Microstructure Technology (IMT), point out that this especially applies to medical implants.

In recent years, medical implants based on smart materials that automatically react to changing conditions, computer-supported design and fabrication based on magnetic resonance tomography datasets or surface modifications for improved tissue integration allowed major progress to be achieved. For successful tissue integration and the prevention of inflammation reactions, special surface coatings were developed also by the KIT under e.g. the multidisciplinary Helmholtz program "BioInterfaces."

Progress in microelectronics and semiconductor technology has been the basis of electronic implants controlling, restoring or improving the functions of the human body, such as cardiac pacemakers, retina implants, hearing implants, or implants for deep brain stimulation in pain or Parkinson therapies. Currently, bioelectronic developments are being combined with robotics systems to design highly complex neuroprostheses. Scientists are working on brain-machine interfaces (BMI) for the direct physical contacting of the brain. BMI are used among others to control prostheses and complex movements, such as gripping. Moreover, they are important tools in neurosciences, as they provide insight into the functioning of the brain. Apart from electric signals, substances released by implanted micro- and nanofluidic systems in a spatially or temporarily controlled manner can be used for communication between technical devices and organisms.

BMI are often considered data suppliers. However, they can also be used to feed signals into the brain, which is a highly controversial issue from the ethical point of view. "Implanted BMI that feed signals into nerves, muscles or directly into the brain are already used on a routine basis, e.g. in cardiac pacemakers or implants for deep brain stimulation," Professor Christof M. Niemeyer, KIT, explains. "But these signals are neither planned to be used nor suited to control the entire organism -- brains of most living organisms are far too complex."

Brains of lower organisms, such as insects, are less complex. As soon as a signal is coupled in, a certain movement program, such as running or flying, is started. So-called biobots, i.e. large insects with implanted electronic and microfluidic control units, are used in a new generation of tools, such as small flying objects for monitoring and rescue missions. In addition, they are applied as model systems in neurosciences in order to understand basic relationships.

Electrically active medical implants that are used for longer terms depend on reliable power supply. Presently, scientists are working on methods to use the patient body's own thermal, kinetic, electric or chemical energy.

In their review the KIT researchers sum up that developments combining technical devices with organisms have a fascinating potential. They may considerably improve the quality of life of many people in the medical sector in particular. However, ethical and social aspects always have to be taken into account.

Robocop for real? Sony offers glimpse of 2027 in CES keynote

23 hours ago

Sony Pictures

The fictional EM-208 robot from Sony Pictures' "Robocop," due in theaters on Feb. 12.

Talk about wearable tech. OmniCorp unveiled the RC-2000, a cyborg law enforcement officer, at its keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) for 2027. Paired with announcements by Cyberdyne Systems and Tyrell Corp., it looks like the hottest new tech trend of the future is menacing robots designed to wreak havoc in our dystopian nightmare of a society.

Or maybe it's just a marketing stunt by Sony Pictures in anticipation of the "RoboCop" remake, due in theaters on Feb. 12. Still, the viral video captures the aura of hyperbole and self-righteousness of your average CES keynote remarkably well.

It even comes with a marketing website, complete with cheesy photos of smiling senior citizens posing with killer machines. But don't be too comforted by the fact that the campaign is science fiction.

Plenty of the robots showcased by OmniCorp aren't too far-fetched. The XT-908 drone? The military is getting pretty close to building something just like it. The EM-208 humanoid robot? Meet its predecessor, the S-One, which took first place at the DARPA Robotics Challenge Trials last month in Florida.

Even the star of the movie, a machine-enhanced super cop, isn't completely out of the question. Just last month, the Department of Defense announcedthat it was working on an "Iron Man" suit that would give its wearer "full-body ballistics protection and super-human strength."

"RoboCop" isn't reality, but that doesn't mean we won't have similar technology by 2027.

RE: Cyborg 009 Home Release Delayed

UK company Anime Limited has announced that its home release of Kenji Kamiyama's action science-fiction film 009 RE:CYBORG (pictured right) has been delayed "due to a delay in the completion of the English dub of the film. We're still waiting on an updated delivery date for this and can't give a firm date yet."

Anime Limited also made some comments on its releases of Makoto Shinkai's anime films. Its upcoming twinpack of The Place Promised in Our Early Days and Voices of a Distant Star (planned in both Collector's and regular editions) has been delayed. The reason is "difficulties getting our hands on the English language assets for the films... which reside elsewhere and not with Sentai Filmworks. This is something we're currently working on and should have sorted soon."

The label added that the twinpack is currently listed as a December 2014 release on Amazon, but that this is just a holding date, and the pack will be out 'way before' December.

Anime Limited is also planning "a Collector's Edition of Makoto Shinkai's work to date which will include a couple titles which we hope to negotiate the inclusion of." The label also confirmed that The Garden of Words (pictured left) will be released in a separate edition, planned for the first quarter of 2014.

Finally, Anime Limited confirmed that the following titles are also planned for the first quarter of 2014: Outlaw Star, Tiger & Bunny the Movie: The Beginning, Durarara!!, Nerima Daikon Brothers, the Gurren Lagann Collector's Edition, and a theatrical release of A Letter to Momo.

Christina Perri Morphs Into The Bionic Woman In Her Stunning New ‘Human’ Video

Posted 01/06/2014 11:34:21 am by Jenna Hally Rubenstein in Music, Videos.

Watch as Christina Perri trades her flesh for circuitry in this new clip.

If you were our next-door neighbor, youd know that the second Christina Perris Human dropped, it was on perma-repeat at our place. Now that theres a stunning video to match the Head Or Heart track, weve reached completely uncharted levels of obsesh.

As in, recording our own four-part harmonies on GarageBand while the gorg Elliott Sellers-directed clip loops on all three televisions in our tiny abode. (We see you judging from your glass house.)

Anyway, at the top of the video, we see Christina standing on a pedestal of sorts, illuminated by fluorescent lights shining down from above. As the moving ballad plays on, parts of her body light up, revealing their bionic foundation.

Likely inspired by the lyric I can turn it on, be a good machine, both the song and the video perfectly portray how intense the social pressures placed upon women can be.

This message is driven home toward the end of the clip, when Christina steps off the cold platform. A myriad of tattoos begin to cover her body, which we interpret to mean that we should embrace our flaws and accept them as part of what makes us unique. So, in other words, PUH-REACH!

In sum, Human is a beautiful song with an equally moving clip truly one of Christinas finest efforts to date! Now, if youll excuse us, weve gotta go throw out that wildly expensive skin toning, cellulite reducing cream because #FREEDOM!

+ Watch Christina Perris Human video.

He has also been awarded Honorary DSc Degrees by the Universities of Aston, Coventry, Bradford, Bedfordshire and Portsmouth and an Honorary DTech Degree by Robert Gordon University.

Kevin instigated a series of pioneering experiments involving the neuro-surgical implantation of a device (Utah Array/BrainGate) into the median nerves of his left arm in order to link his nervous system directly to a computer to assess the latest technology for use with the disabled. The development of the implant technology was carried out by a team of researchers headed by Dr Mark Gasson who, along with Kevin, used it to perform the ground-breaking research. Kevin was successful with the first extra-sensory (ultrasonic) input for a human and with the first purely electronic communication experiment between the nervous systems of two humans. His research has been discussed by the US White House Presidential Council on BioEthics, The European Commission FTP and led to him being widely referenced and featured in academic circles as well as appearing as cover stories in several magazines e.g. Wired (USA), The Week (India).

The Institute of Physics selected Kevin as one of only 7 eminent scientists to illustrate the ethical impact their scientific work can have: the others being Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Nobel, Oppenheimer and Rotblat.

His work is used as material in several advanced Level Physics courses in the UK and in many University courses including Harvard, Stanford, MIT & Tokyo. His implants are on display in the Science Museums in London and Naples. As a result, Kevin regularly gives invited Keynote presentations.

Kevins research involves robotics and he was responsible (with Dr Jim Wyatt) for Cybot, a robot exported around the world as part of a magazine Real Robots this resulted in royalties totalling over 1M for Reading University. Robots designed and constructed by Kevins group (Dr Ian Kelly, Dr Ben Hutt) have been on permanent interactive display in the Science Museums in London, Birmingham and Linz.

Kevins recent research involves a collaborative project with the Oxford neurosurgeon, Prof. Tipu Aziz, using intelligent computer methods to predict the onset of Parkinsonian tremors such that they can be stopped by means of a deep brain implant.

Miesha Tate Agrees to Help Cris Cyborg Get Ready for Her Next Fight

While Miesha Tate remains ranked the No. 2 women's bantamweight fighter in the world after her second loss to divisional champion Ronda Rousey last Saturday, many are wondering what's next for the ex-Strikeforce titleholder.

As "Cupcake" heads back to the drawing board, it appears she won't be doing it with only the help of Team Alpha Male.

On Friday, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, who manages Invicta FC featherweight champ Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino, asked Tate if she'd be interested in training with his star client.

Tate responded succinctly, appearing content to take the self-proclaimed "People's Champion" up on the offer.

Just over a month ago, Cyborg herself reached out to Tate to train prior to her UFC 168 title tilt with Rousey.

As far as the fight fans know, Tate never book Justino up on the offer then, but she is clearly singing a different tune after losing three of her past four bouts.

Justino is 2-0 under the Invicta banner, winning the inaugural 145-pound title in dominant fashion, scoring her second career TKO over former Strikeforce champ Marloes Coenen.

Cyborg has not competed in MMA since July, though has stayed busy by taking a Muay Thai fight in September.

She defeated previously unbeaten Jennifer Colomb at Lion Fight 11, scoring a Round 2 TKO. She currently does not have her next Invicta title fight booked.

Would it be in the best interests of two of Rousey's top rivals to put their heads together and spend a few weeks training together, or would the endeavor be a waste of time at the end of the day?

For some guys, Nuclear Cowboyz motocross show is heaven on wheels

Nuclear Cowboyz rider Mike Mason, a seven-time X Games gold medalist, performed a stunt called a Holyman during a recent show. The 2014 tour marks his fifth year with the Nuclear Cowboyz. COURTESYOFFELDENTERTAINMENT

With scantily clad women, towers of fire, lasers, a cyborg army, loud music and even louder motorcycles, the Nuclear Cowboyz freestyle motocross tour might just be man heaven.

The pretense of the show is that teams of stunt riders are in a battle against evil legions directed by a villainous woman but, really, it's all about the bikes.

Motorcycles and four-wheelers fly through the air as riders stretch, leap and contort above them in an athletic, gasoline-powered ballet that makes them appear suspended, weightless, for an instant.

"It's part X Games and part circus," rider Mike Mason said.

Mason and the other riders, all veterans of the motocross world, perform hundreds of freestyle tricks in a fast-paced adrenaline parade to a soundtrack of heavy metal, electronic dubstep and hip-hop. And don't forget the weapon-wielding "kung fu warriors."

Mason, who has won seven medals in the X Games extreme sports competition, said he thinks the warriors might be real monks. But he's not sure. They don't speak English, and he doesn't speak Chinese. But, he said, "they are a bunch of little Asian dudes ripping around with swords and stuff."

The warriors are an addition to the 2014 tour, which debuts in Lexington before heading to at least 15 more cities through April.

"It's been a crazy couple of weeks for us," said Mason, 32, whose laid-back vibe is in keeping with his bio of a guitar-strumming guy who likes to have a few beers with his buds.

Mason said he has been on a bike almost since he could walk. His entire family was into motocross. He never imagined that he'd do it for a living, much less find a gig after he finished competing. The freestyle moves he does along with the other riders have been perfected over years of practice.
