showcase Human Augmentation showcase & discussion thread

[NickB]

I am pretty excited by this area......

Lot's of potential, lot's of technology involved and governments and companies are taking a serious interest in this space

It's also known as Human Enhancement but I think Augmentation is going to be mainstream.....

I like the Ministry of Defence's explanation on what it is.....

"The application of science and technologies to temporarily or permanently improve human performance"

Really detailed breakdown from them below

"Human Augmentation - The dawn of a New Paradigm"

Have you got any domains related to this space, if so feel free to share them here as well as any news.....

At first glance people might think WTF but a few people have implanted a chip into their hands to act as a Crypto Wallet......

Which is pretty cool and I think more people will do so going forwards

Mind and matter: the application of brain computer interfaces​

Augmenting a person’s cognitive ability by artificial means is becoming more science fact that science fiction, with defence personnel likely to benefit.

The .com | .org | .de and co.uk where already taken

It's used quite a lot when discussing this space......one example below

- energy, speaks for itself. Harnessing the power of voice, imo.

Just came across another couple of developed sites in this space - they run conferences

Under past conferences, there are some interesting white papers that they have shared from their first conference

https://augmented-humans.org

Another conference company.......

https://www.augmented-human.com

Augmented Human / - .com is owned by Mike Mann - asking price? $794,888

Think both sites are linked.....

Docomo announces world's first technology that utilises human-augmentation platform for sharing haptic information between people​

"The FEEL TECH system, which DOCOMO believes is the world's first to share haptic information, comprises a device that detects a person's sensory state, a "driving" device that physically reproduces the same state in another person, and the human-augmentation platform that shares the information between devices connected to a network"

Memory Can be Enhanced, Manipulated, and Edited. Will the Future of Memory be Ethical?​

“In the future, you’ll be able to save and replay memories… You could potentially download them into a new body or into a robot body. The future’s going to be weird,” said Elon Musk at a Neuralink presentation in 2020.

Neuralink, Musk’s brain-computer interface company, recently sought approval to begin human clinical trials in 2023 and hopes to implant the first chip in a human brain within six months. According to Musk, who plans to eventually get one of these microchips embedded in his own brain, the technology may one day allow us to control our memories"

However, these claims around technological manipulation and enhancement of human memory, which at this point fall more in the realm of dystopian science fiction than reality, could also have far-reaching ethical implications for personal autonomy. With a bulk of research on memory manipulation technology falling within the corporate domain, do our future selves run the risk of turning our memories, and eventually personhood, into data that fuels business ventures? Further, such tech could accentuate the socio-economic barriers that divide society today, while potentially changing the nature of human memory itself.

Human augmentation with robotic body parts is at hand, say scientists​

Extra parts, from a thumb to an arm, could be designed to help boost our capabilities

https://www.theguardian.com/science...-robotic-body-parts-is-at-hand-say-scientists

Humans could have wings, tentacles or an extra ARM 'in the next few decades' thanks to leaps in human augmentation, experts predict​

Got to love the difference in the above titles.....

May as well share an article I did on LinkedIn a couple of months ago on this niche - it was geared towards HR as my main job is in event management within this space
