Onze fysieke grenzen verleggen dankzij hersencomputers en robots | Cyborgs uitgelegd

Elon Musk's goal with Neuralink is to blend people and machines by creating brain-machine interfaces for communication and integration.

A brief history of prosthetics and how they have evolved over time to provide better support and functionality for users.

Traditional prosthetics have limitations in providing fine motor control and can lead to back or hip problems for users.

Companies are working on robotic prosthetic feet that can store and release energy explosively, providing better support and functionality for users.

Fine motor control is a crucial aspect of prosthetic development that requires the exchange of information between the hand and brain to mimic natural limb function.

Bionic eyes, like the one used to restore sight in a blind woman, rely on camera images converted into digital signals to stimulate the retina and enable vision.

Elon Musk's Neuralink aims to implant electrodes in the brain to measure and stimulate brain activity, opening the door to brain-machine collaboration and potential cyborg futures.

As brain research and integration with machines advance, ethical questions arise, necessitating further development for a possible future of cyborgs and artificial memory.
