Kevin Warwick

Kevin WarwickKevin Warwick is Emeritus Professor at Reading and Coventry Universities. His main research areas are artificial intelligence, biomedical systems and cyborgs. His research as a self-experimenter means he is frequently called the world’s first Cyborg. Kevin took his first degree at Aston University, followed by a PhD at Imperial College London. He held positions at Oxford, Newcastle, Warwick, Reading and Coventry Universities. His experiments into implant technology led to him being featured as the cover story on the US magazine, ‘Wired’. He achieved the world’s first direct electronic communication between two human nervous systems, the basis for thought communication.
