Hello: I believe we should consider what precedents the Medical Equipment community has laid out here....at least as a start....IEC 60601, FDA regs, etc....
these address safety concerns for implanted. Just my humble thoughts on the matter. - Mel -----Original Message----- From: Barry Ma [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 7:14 PM To: EMC-PSTC Subject: Implanted IC in brain Hi, It seems not a pure friction to implant intelligent IC into human brains. Some people made prediction about this new breed of human being. Some are talking about downloading certain virtual sense from Internet. ... Let's put aside the feasibility and focus only on related EMC/Safety concerns. 1. If there going to be a wireless access from human brain to Internet, do we have the same Safety concern as cellular phone? 2. It would also be possible to directly communicate each other via brain ICs. We don't have to exchange thoughts by means of any language (spoken and written) or eye contact. ... Should we have EMC standards to regulate the emission level of brain waves and immunity capability for brain ICs? Thanks.
