DESCRIPTION:Professor Kevin Warwick\, the world's first human cyborg\, wil
 l give an exciting talk on the field of cybernetics . He instigated a seri
 es of pioneering experiments involving the neuro-surgical implantation of 
 a device into the median nerves of his left arm in order to link his nervo
 us system directly to a computer to assess the latest technology for use w
 ith the disabled. He was successful with the first extra-sensory (ultrason
 ic) input for a human and with the first purely electronic communication e
 xperiment between the nervous systems of two humans.\n\nHe is currently Pr
 ofessor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading where he carries out r
 esearch in artificial intelligence\, control\, robotics and biomedical eng
 ineering. The Institute of Physics selected Kevin as one of only 7 eminent
