DEFCON 20: Hacking Humanity: Human Augmentation and You
Speakers: CHRISTIAN "QUADDI" DAMEFF THIRD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT JEFF "R3PLICANT" TULLY THIRD YEAR MEDICAL STUDENT You #39;ve played Deus Ex. You #39;ve seen Robocop. You #39;ve read Neuromancer. You #39;ve maybe even wondered just what dark mix of technology and black magic keeps the withered heart of Richard "Dick" Cheney pumping coronary after coronary. Now it #39;s time to get off the couch and put down the controller. Human augmentation is no longer constrained to the world of speculative fiction and vice-presidential medicine; biomechanical interfaces are an exploding area of active research, development, and implementation. And they #39;re here to stay. Join medical student/hacker enthusiasts quaddi and r3plicant for a fun-filled tour through the brave new world of the latest and greatest in this exciting new melding of medicine and technology. From the simplest insulin pump to the latest gyroscopic prosthesis for wounded veterans, from the full body DARPA developed exoskeleton of the future to the changes currently being implemented in our most fundamental building blocks, this talk explores what was, what is and what will be in the future of human augmentation, and more importantly, what you need to know to get started down the path to Robocop glory. Christian "quaddi" Dameff is a third year medical student and former OCTF champion (Sudoers). Former research and interests include: therapeutic hypothermia after cardiac arrest (brrr!), novel drug targets for post Myocardial Infarction ...From:ChRiStIaAn008Views:161 4ratingsTime:47:57More inScience Technology
