Prospects for Thought Communication Kevin Warwick and Daniela Cerqui Department of Cybernetics, University of Reading, Whiteknights, Reading, RG6 6AY, UK Abstract In this paper we take a look at the realistic future possibility of thought communication. Technical details are presented on experimentation carried out thus far using implant technology and the route ahead involving brain-computer interfaces is described. Of importance in the paper is however the ethical issues raised by such a novel

tunnel. As the name suggests, a wind-tunnel is a cylindrical tunnel in which air is blown from one side by a huge fan at high speeds. The middle part of the tunnel is called as throat. It is the place where the test model is placed. Various sensors are attached to the test model and the data is collected in the room near it. The data collected issued to reduce the aerodynamic drag and minimize fuel consumption and also increase the speed of the cars, trucks, planes, etc. also aerodynamic properties

contaminants must not be introduced into the controlled environment from the outside. 2) Second, the apparatus or equipment within the controlled environment must not generate or otherwise give rise to contaminants (for example as a result of friction, chemical reactions, or biological processes). 3) Third, contaminants must not be allowed to accumulate in the controlled environment. 4) Fourth, existing contaminants must be eliminated to the greatest extent possible, and as rapidly as possible. These requirements

still no method that consists a single panacea to all different scenarios and demands for security. This is the reason for which researchers are on a continuous effort for more efficient and generic biometric modalities that can be used in various applications. In this chapter, emerging biometric modalities that appeared in the last years in order to improve the performance of biometric recognition systems, are presented. The presented methods are divided in two major categories, intrusive and non-intrusive
