but now it's merging computers with the most sophisticated machine. be human brain is a crazy fantasy of some enthusiastic are a not so distant future while i asked the world's 1st sidebar professor of cybernetics at common tree and reading universities kevin warwick and. kevin warwick professor of saturn attics and comment tray or reading universities and the wealth 1st cyber a kevin so great to have you with us. so many things have been coming up in the news lately so the technology of implanting alex rhodes into the brain cortex is at least 20 years old and electrodes in the brain have already been used to control epileptic fits in people yet mosques near a link project is presented as a giant leap forward why. well i think you know musk if. that's what it's the center but it is good in some ways but the moment he just been

experimented on with pigs as i understand so there's no human joy i was here not only is it or. but only the type of electrodes they're using the not rigid the electrodes that i have implanted in my nervous system were. like like a hairbrush. and the tension there is that i can break off and of course firing them into the brain on a system to be quite dangerous a 100 spikes in my nervous system so i think if we're looking at very. you know you can move them around the top of electrodes the they will unless he's talking about then that's much better because they can move with all the nervous system but the issue i have is how do you implant them in a human because with the implant i have just how mary jane berry quick very swift

with the type of electrodes must refers to i can't say how not forcible so i have big questions yet how it will work as far as humans are concerned doesn't post to just the pigs that it's the drugs or let's let's. speculate a bit because if i get it right they idea of here a link is to trends trust made our thoughts directly to the computer without the need of any middlemen technology and at a much higher speed right how is it supposed to work exactly like well i have to say what i want inside my head for a computer to deliver on that what do you make of it well timidly we don't know how well it's going to work what's being done so far is more motor so you can always make any movement and those normal signals can be sent out sorry to a robot dumb to cause it to move so you can move technology remotely but also

in terms of sensory information you can feed back into the brain so it's months or in sensory that's what's been done so far but the big advantages of course is when you what you're referring to the possibility of sending all sorts of crime signals only brian to the not just through a computer but the tension into another prime or into a machine an artificial intelligence so that the whole possibility of communicating by thought can for all not for me is tremendously exciting but we don't brood imagines a bit like telegraphic communication from nervous system to nervous system but i think you're wrong muskies is for example if were you why i'm doing an experiment sending signals from brian to brian which i think would be one of the big advantages there's lots of other advantages for our brains are flexible and they're

constantly changing according to what we do with them does that imply that it's chip implant would have to be app created and updated all the time just as well like i don't know biologically cations. i don't think so i think what we're looking at rather than a chip implant it's a bit like a pull out i don't know if people are aware of the film to my trip yet. raves howdah a lot of sockets in the back of the taping with brian it's a bit like that it's opening up a port into the brook and those are your heroes then i will defend brain signals by the connection to have to wherever and signal is back into the bing so the chip itself is not really doing anything in the right so i don't think you need to upgrade the technology but the beautiful thing is that the human brain cells what i do what it right and so does is really communicate either from brain so to brighten

sello from the outside well into the writing and so on in the brain cells like to communicate and i really fail here that once you get this port in the brighton the growing so is will adopt the day out flexible they can make new connections even when you're older they still like new connections and hence i think i will accept an implant quite readily no problems about the materials that's not an issue but i really except what it can do and when the brain cells can communicate in a whole new way they will go for it they brain cells will hey yeah we want to do this effectively and so we will have quite a switch it's not just a case of putting the implant in and it will do what it can do i think over a period of time though your brain will adapt to the new possibilities. well i know you get excited about the prospect of communicating with each other without words in the future was

a helpful that looked rhodes implanted in our neural system but i'm thinking like the beauty of the thought is sometimes in fact that it's private when i choose not to broadcast it i just shut up so if we all communicate by thought someday right what happens if we don't want similar thoughts to be transmitted. well i i have to disagree with you there because i think with technology what we've seen what we've actually seen with facebook and all sorts of different made twitter and so on is the when humans can communicate in a whole new way that i really go for it that's what's whether you're a child with your own how do you can communicate in a new way that is exciting for you because that's what your brain cell wants and do it's not that you're going against what your body will see what your brain cells want to do and so the privilege is not an issue we don't worry about credit

cards and having information on us all the time by code companies and shops because the advantages we get by being able to do that to use the technology and with communication we don't worry too much it's all about the previously issues if we go on social media because of the advantages we get in their new ability to communicate and hence i think that is going to be the critical factor we will want to do it we will want to communicate directly bing to rhyme even though it opens up possibilities of people literally hacking into our brains finding what some of our innermost thoughts is the interface essentially between the who lives here and when brian and technology that's the problem and once we integrate the 2 are much more i believe maybe we won't worry about our innermost thoughts because we gaining some much hold or we build up

a new way of operating that we have you know most thoughts because your brain is not just one organ it's a lot so different organs effectively that there are different things and so maybe within part of your growing you can have the source yes this person is silly or i don't like them whatever but you don't want them to know that in my. being communicated to him even brought into grime you are able to filter the moment we don't know because we simply cannot do this sort of thing let's not so i don't do it because of the loss of privacy we need to do the experiments now to our and our if there are issues that you're citing right be we pull back from it to know you i suspect that one should but ok it's one thing to implant alex roads to read signals saying why are 2 brain regions but i was thoughts are the product of billy and neural connections how can alex drawing device connected cells to every single

neuron i mean a task same was improbable. i don't i don't think we're connecting to every single neural net it's not the idea of the soul but even with a long musket a lot must be talking or perhaps thousands of connections all i have so far in the experiments i've done is 100 in action in the body when you're communicating now you don't use all of your so i think it is this this pool that you're still looking might be thousands maybe it might be millions of connections in the end but relative to the 100000000000 neurons that you've got it's still a relatively small number so don't think you're looking your you age growing so to an electrode that's not what we're looking to do by any means but a small number. number is fairly large because you don't lots of possibilities but there are questions which neurons in the writing do you just connect them over to the new rules that you connect with the sensory your arms and song all the years

spread it around much more so where the electrodes a position is something we will need to look on with which is the best position and so on carol had to take a sharp break right now when we're back we'll continue talking about what's going to happen when when virus technology with our brains talking to kevin warwick professor of cybernetics of commentry and reading here in our survey said the 1st seiberg ever stay with us. max geysers financial survival guide liquid asset and how does it you can convert it into gas quite easily. to keep in mind though as a demand to a place to watch guys are more.

and you may never get over. my teenage gang rules here because i do want to. remind everybody. but. i'm. not a. bell in the leg. room.

and we're back with kevin warwick professor of cybernetics at common tree and reading university also the world's 1st cyborg we're talking about what's going to happen to us when technology and brains merge haven't you seen one of your interviews that we humans are pretty limited in what we can do particularly mentally and we just have a bunch of brain cells and surprising because it seems to me that especially mentally we still don't know our limits and when we keep on studying our brains and keep on being a maze and how complex and powerful they are why do you feel that humans are limited. well we have a finite number of primes out woods and certainly i agree with you that we could do

more with brian so if we go out and maybe this link will allow us to learn what the possibilities are but at the same time we can see when you look at computer technology particularly artificial intelligence some of the news that it can do just the speed and complexity of the way it can make calculations communication communicate better computer the computer communication is much better than human communication so we did does a lot of things better than we do so the possibility not just there being restricted with the brains we've got with a finite number of brain so but even to even just combining to hear him and brian's together. i mean that to me has a lot of advantages not just because of the communication but because of the the addition and it's thinking in terms of not communicating not sending just signals

as we do now but in terms of emotions failing the ideas concepts the whole thing the whole gamut of what's going on you know rhymes we have the possibility of communicating in a much better why so linking just to bring together we can trying to sort of transfer ideas from person to person i would believe in a much better why are. so ill mass claims maryland has a huge there a paddock potential of being able one day to have paralysis out same or parkinson's disease can your lymph glands bring back the actual ability to hear to see. well i think the therapeutic side of things is with one of the things that will drive it forward yes already parkinson there implants depression and so on but a lot of other. neurological problem schizophrenia i think is one of those things at the moment has not been tackled electrically as we have to remember the brain is

a lecturer chemical electrical probably chemical where i was most medicine is chemical and it with all sorts of side effects you have a headache you try springs and the house side effects and it probably still doesn't so you go as we could potentially tranquil sayings like that electrically so there's all sorts of therapeutic possibilities but i think when we look to the future in maybe some of the things that we do at the moment chiefly in terms of communication we wonder in the future we will move on we will evolve with the technology and so this way of communicating. well don't have to because we don't need to communicate about why when we think there were each other we can communicate in a much richer form a much better much better why we will find it quite people leak the numbers that

evolved from us will look back in psycho how did they communicate in such a limited wife all those years back in 20 trying to. help there's an example of a color blind man having an antenna add that last he sends the colors so i read you talk about things that lead one feel ultrasound are getting for a vision what else is like a real possibility for you in terms of adequate for healings what can you see as an actual doable thing in the nearest future versus theoretical possibilities. you know what 11 of the things i feel is how we understand the world around us. we turn to the human brain operates in 3 dimensions spidey sense and texture and so on as a 3 gun ungentle thing we just go spices not 3 don't mention of spices fires and

you can put as many dog mentions as the understanding of it which of course with machine technology you would occupational intelligence that ended up your machines going to understand the world around us in hundreds or thousands of dollars mentions which is much more complex and i really fail it realistic it is in the years ahead we will understand the universe in many more dark mentions that we do with the moment and that i hope will change spice trouble for example in the moment because we think in 3 dimensions so it takes us a long time just to get to the moon which is almost nowhere in the universe if they want to go to malas we go it's just there it's never going to type several years to get to it thinking in 3 dimensions when we start to sing this joint human machine thinking in terms of drugs you don't mentions or 30 don't mention then we are all we can do we can we can just do that through the dark mentions or i sincerely hope

that it's going to be a possibility i don't like to think of us just being stuck in this one part of the universe can the technology actually improve my brain function at least theoretically i mean can i implanted sheep and be finally able to learn languages solve complex math problems or be able to play flawlessly without 20 years of practice and experience. that good question i'm not. going to find out about things that i would love to do i'm not no. very good my musical instruments are absolutely terrible on languages my wife is jack and i still i'm not very good thing the checked language so if there was some help on that i was going to job it i mean with things will change with languages i don't know do we will need languages where we're going i sincerely hope that when we can communicate

i just bought it thinking to each other there's a lot of things we we think about that and the us sitting in a chair i'm sitting in a chair we can sync of those things and the ideas of those things but then we use language just to describe it to someone else if we're not using speech intentionally we don't need language those things will change dramatically i never feel loss of as i rethink in language i on his account relate we do think specifically in some language construct i think we both languages on it but it's something that will trying dramatically 'd and i might maybe abilities motor abilities the ability to play golf and so on which again i'm not particularly good at but if or if i can download i think that's got to be some short term possibility download a number of movements into my body which will cause me to play golf

a little bit better i probably still won't be as good as the professional golfers off but i can see why those particular sector movements into it is a robotic why can't be done blood it into my prime so i perform some interactions but my body is not a professional golf buddies are still probably wouldn't be as good but it would be a lot better than i was before. so if the brain in a more distant future will be connected to a network be a cheap of some kind and that network will be run by artificial intelligence therefore artificial intelligence will be able to map all processes that go on inside a brain if it will if it will know and be able to sort of left look at the process inside a brain. will it lead to theoretically having consciousness what i want to say is the desire to enhance humans lead to

a very enhanced artificial intelligence and stad. yes it could be mark my word is if we don't do this then not could be a dying tourists in our. good how about a visual intelligence in a with a form of consciousness that potentially is very different the human consciousness is what alan turing said many machines i count maybe punches were those they can be but it's probably different human punches but when we look at something that is an amount in my ssion then i i would be quite happy i would love to have a mixed form of consciousness not just the human target that we've got but also a machine element of that consciousness because it would give me all sorts of abilities and abilities to think in a much deeper way so i think there are lots of advantages to but there are also potential dangers that you're alluding to and not something we're going to have to

be very careful of very wary of anyone i think whether artificial intelligence is separate to humans but chiefly in the military denying how much are we going to allow it to do the financial sector and so on without humans being in control of what's going on as opposed to this mixed or home and wheeling human brunswick machine brines in the possibility of having this ben holmes mixed consciousness. part human. so you point out the close connection between technology and the human brain will affect a share of autonomy of human beings and i'll ask point blank right. once our brains are connected to computers will this be the end of us as fully autonomy as poles because i mean machines will be able to make us think certain things and modify our behaviors accordingly. you know i don't think you're quite right i mean even now all we really would tell him beings the possibility of living just yourself

one person in the world that we live in now if it's a straight maybe some people who i don't think i could i'm not sure that my body would take the different foods that i have to wait whether i would be able to survive in a world where i was the only person effectively so i think we need our network we need other people we need technology now to live in the world we're in and then this is just taking it out bit further. in terms of understanding what is going on in the human brain i think with therapeutic methods now one of the projects i'm working on for parkinson's disease with electrodes in the bronx to take the brian how to behave in a whited out of a comes the problems of parkinson's disease with those electrodes and using ira what we do please learn how to go to the different brian parts of the brian

behaving particularly those that are affected in parkinson's is a so it's modeling the brine in an artificial intelligence system and you can get for example 11 pop before the the typical tremors the associated with parkinson's is a full or stop the artificial intelligence system to know several seconds ahead that they are going to stop so the person themselves doesn't know they're going to have the trauma starting with the computer does so i think we can give advantage of understanding the human brian much more through computer technology which we can use for therapy which helps people that's going to be a good thing but also we can enhance the why we're thinking you know the computer knows what we're going to think before we think if you all know how ryrie voice an opinion. that augmentin yourself westpac will be a thing of rich people mostly i mean of course like in the beginning. like it was

with the automobile as our cell phones it certainly will be but this time we're not talking cell phones we're talking evolutionary level change will at whole layer of people be excluded from having new abilities will she could like could split to humanity into 2 tires are wealthy enough to be cyborgs and the rest but stuck the comments out. well i don't know it would look to be oh yes now everything's going to be all right but if we look realistically with technology as you've said. with so phones we want to move some people have them some people have more of them and some people don't how many of them until i think what does is it stretches society in terms of society's abilities so it goes with the technology can communicate in all sorts of wise and interact and can benefit from it and those without any of this is starting to really have very limited capabilities in comparison so we're

stretching society a bit like in the last. i think this will do is further stretch it so yes does that the money and i was the one to experiment a bit get in that 1st we'll have abilities and those that don't have implants in the right will not have anything like those abilities but the key thing is i think it will stretch it a bit like an elastic but most likely not bound it's going to break so that we end up with those that are having plans that will connect control munich just by thinking to each other and so on will have abilities why beyond those that don't so i think it could easily create stress the bouncer would just split the vote into those with a moment's notice without. right karen it's been such a pleasure talking to you good luck with everything we're talking to kevin warwick professor of cybernetic sad commentary and reading universities on the world's 1st work. here.
