BIOSPYTRONICS

Neuro-electronics has went up to the extent of connecting a electrode to a human nervous system and tapping the messages communicated through the nerves to operate computers, artificial limbs and other machineries. Can this procedure be reversed to make the nerves system take the commands from a computer and perform the operations on the body? Biospytronics answers this question of how this technique can be used to control the movement of a living organism and also use it in spying and surveillance.

Nervous system is composed of millions of nerve cells called neurons, they transmits the message through them as a electric stimuli and in between two nerve cells using chemical substances. Scientists developed nerve chips by allowing the nerve cells to grow over a electrode wire to tap the pattern of electric current flowing in the nerve. Such stimuli from a nerves controlling a limb is translated into mechanical movements in artificial limbs. This has helped millions of people without limbs to continue their normal physical activity . Some cyber-scientists are trying to use it in human-machine interface experiments to operate computer.

In the same way, a nerve chip connected to the optic nerve of an animal can transmit video images to a external device. Whatever the eyes sees can be viewed at your computer screen. A same kind of nerve chips in auditory and olfactory nerves will be able to send the audio and smell information to a wireless receiver and on to a computer. If you insert such a nerve chips with a wireless transmitter to a sniffer dog, whatever the dog is looking at can viewed at a monitor, you can also hear the sounds that it hears. Your screen can also tell what smell matches the one it is sniffing at now. It can be exclusively used in a crime scene investigation. If the whole equipments that has to inserted into the animal is very tiny then it can be done on small flies and insects and use them is spying and surveillance.

But how are we going to keep the dog or a fly to be at a place that we want it to be, it is gonna run away. Here comes the solution, scientists recently developed nerve chips which can communicate with the nerves in both directions,chips that can eject chemical substances into nerve ends hereby creating a stimuli has been developed. A combination of chips that can generate stimuli by both electric current and by chemical substances is expected to be very efficient. This nerve chips if it is inserted into the nerves responsible for controlling the limbs can be used to send signals to lift the legs and hands and make them walk, stand run etc,.

So a animal or a tiny insect fitted with a wireless transmitter and receiver can this send audio, video and other information about the place it is spying to a terminal wireless receiver connected to a computer. At the same time it will be possible to make the animal to move by using a joy stick at the other terminal. This is a technique involving spying and surveillance using living systems(bio) and electronics(tronics) hence the name . Power source for the equipments end can be generated using fuel cells that can convert carbohydrates into electricity in the body of the animal(Read more....)

But why is the need to use a live animal to do it rather a small robots?

Robots has not yet evolved to move effectively and efficiently when compared to any living system.

Isn't it bad to control the free movement of animals for your use?

Animals are in humans use for a long time. Horses are been used to pull carts and chariots. They are controlled from external source to move in the directions you want it. It is the same but done in another way.

It is not all we can do with technology, a person affected by paralysis can be fitted with these nerve chips which can carry the impulses from the brain to a affected leg. Any voluntary action an organ can be recreated by this technique.
