Abstract


Humans have limited capabilities. Can we use technology to upgrade humans? The possibility exists to enhance human capabilities, to harness the ever increasing abilities of machine intelligence, to enable extra sensory input and to communicate in a much richer way. From its inception as a technology, neural networks have promised to revolutionize the way. We interact with our computers and each other. Neural interfacing as an evolving trend in wireless communications by taking into account one of its important application i.e. cyborgs. A cyborg is a cybernetic organism (i.e. an organism that is a self-regulating integration of artificial and natural systems) part human part machine; it thrives on the inputs both from the living senses and from the machine interface, which acts as an enhancement module. Brain-machine interfaces (invasive and non-invasive) represent the most likely pathway. In this paper, we intend to tell, how exactly the cyborgdom is achieved and what are the future aspects and prospects? Are we witnessing a true revolution in human futuristics or is it going to be just a flight of fantasy? That the future will tell. But for now let us understand what Cyborgs are all about?
