The Operation In a set of ground breaking
experiments, Professor Kevin Warwick undergoes surgery to his median nerve,
to implant a specially designed micro electrode array. |
As if mimicking the opening sequence
from: popular Sci-Fi television series of the 1970s 'The Six Million Dollar
Man'; the Cybernetics professor from Reading University endures just over 2
hours of gruelling surgery, under local aesthetic, at
Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford, UK, which takes
place at 08:30 on March 14th 2002. Consultant Neuro-surgeon 'Peter Teddy' leads the operating team here - which includes Mr Amjad Shad. Assisting him, on this occasion, is co-founder of the Cyborg Project: Professor Brian Andrews. With no way of truly predicting the success, or the potential side effects of such a revolutionary procedure; Professor Kevin Warwick would be taking a huge leap of faith in undergoing this remarkable form of human experimentation on himself. |

The success of the operation would not only hold in
the balance: his reputation within the scientific community; but also, his
health and well being - should any unforeseen complications arise, both during and after
surgery. |

Discover how Sylak was brought in, to provide
critical technical support (in the field of 'Special Effects'), when a custom
'designer sheath' was needed - not just to support and protect the patient (as
well as his new intricate circuitry), but also to provide a visual point of
reference for the growing media attention.
