Lesson plan
Cyberware
Cyberware refers to technology that integrates directly with the human nervous system, typically through implants or interfaces that enable communication between machines and the body. Once largely a concept within science fiction, cyberware is now an emerging field of biomedical research and neurotechnology, with applications ranging from brain–computer interfaces to advanced prosthetics. The term encompasses both sensory-enhancing implants and control systems that translate neural signals into digital outputs. While still in its early stages, cyberware has gained renewed interest in the 21st century through companies like Neuralink and BrainGate, as well as ongoing research into human–machine symbiosis.
