I remember reading the news article about the British Professor who installed a chip in his forearm to control the doors, appliances etc in his house. Always wondered if he went through some kind of testing. It would not be far-fetched to imagine the time when people would consider wrist-watches, PDAs et al, too bulky to carry around and would rather prefer implanted versions of the same. Close interaction between the physicians and EMC guys is very possible in the near future as doctors and EMI guys try to fix people who are failing the limits or are causing neighbor's computer (or neighbors) to crash etc...etc.
The approvals/compliance field is getting very complicated ............ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Barry Ma Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 5:14 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. ... Lets 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 dont 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.
