Science fiction • Neuromancer: William Gibson • The Terminal Man: Michael Crichton • Interface: Stephen Bury (Neal Stephenson)
Reality • Epilepsy treatment • Neural prostheses • Artificial organs
Robotic surgery • How it works • Valve surgery • Pathfinder neurosurgery • Remote surgery • Robotics at Berkeley • CABG • Nissen
Why Robotics • Distance surgery • Telementoring • Simulation/training • Motion scaling • Retinal vein cannulation • Gating • Voice control • 3D reconstruction
Implants • Functional electrical stimulation • Swallowable cameras • Implantable medical records
Auditory prostheses • Conductive hearing loss • Sensorineural hearing loss • Cochlear implants • Auditory brain implant • Projection • Implants that translate on the fly or “hear” wavelengths infrasonic and supersonic that humans can’t hear
Visual prostheses • Eye recapitulated by nature in many forms • Spectacles • Prostheses • External receptor/camera • Implanted device • Retina • Optic nerve • Visual cortex • Visual coding/training • Prism glasses
Visual prostheses • Speculative • See wavelengths humans can’t
Pacemakers • Cardiac pacemakers • Smart pacers • Diaphragmatic pacemakers • Bladder pacemakers
