Can people live only with the brain, without the body?

Some experts believe that the human body is obsolete and no longer suitable for modern life. Scientists are finding out if we can one day live only with the brain in other planets.

Many experts say it is time for mankind to upgrade their "shells" to become more environmentally friendly and help us reside in distant galaxies.

However, Professor Kevin Warwick, a cyber-expert at the University of Reading (UK), says focusing on upgrading the body is not necessary because people can live without it."The brain is a key thing. Even on Earth, our existing body is probably no longer suitable. We can survive with something better," he said.

Warwick has conducted many bizarre tests, such as transplanting an RFID chip into his arm to "become a half-human, half-sci-fi science fiction figure." The microchip helped him to control other computers' gates, electric lights, stoves and devices, based on the proximity of him and them.

In 2002, a "different" professor also received another implant, directly interacting with his nervous system. The experiment proved successful and the signal obtained enough detail for a robotic arm invented by the professor of Professor Warwick - Dr. Peter Kyberd, can simulate the action of "flesh and bones" arm. by Professor Warwick.

In fact, Warwick's nervous system was connected to the Internet at Columbia University in New York, USA. From there, he was able to control the robotic arm at the University of Reading in England and receive feedback from sensors at the robot fingertips.

Another part of the experiment involved an implant placed inside the arm of Professor Warwick's wife, with the ultimate goal being to someday create a "telepathy" using the Internet to communicate. Signal from far away. The experiment was also successful, in terms of helping to bring the first direct and electronic communication between the two nervous systems of two separate people.

Later, scientists measured the effect of implants on Warwick's arm operation through the use of the hand assessment process of the University of Southampton (UK). This move comes from the fear that direct connection to the nervous system may cause some form of harm or interference. However, the team did not detect any negative effects or elimination. They observed neuronal tissue growing around the electrode array, enveloping the sensor.

Even so, the most promising success for humanity's future space colonial conquest is Gordon's brain-powered robot, created by Warwick.This "creature" lies entirely under the control of a mouse embryonic brain cell and can determine where to move as well as whether it wants to go somewhere.

The goal of the present invention is to replicate the experiment with human neurons, but not to mention whether an organism brain could be implanted into an external space exploration machine or spacecraft. Earth or not. However, Warwick is optimistic that, one day, we can send a vehicle containing a human brain to another planet.
