PROJECT RESEARCH

Transhumanists assume that the next evolutionary stage of humanity will be achieved through fusion with technology. The technologies we wear on our bodies today in the form of wearables will be carried inside us in the future

DNA-SEQUENCES

Science is doing its best to make this vision a reality. Google and Samsung, for example, are researching smart contact lenses that have augmented reality features and medical applications, such as measuring the blood sugar of diabetics. The lens transmits the corresponding data to the smartphone via an integrated antenna.
In the medical field in particular, there are a number of developments that make a transhumanist transformation of society seem entirely plausible. For example, electronic brain implants: Via sensors or electrodes, they can monitor the brain's activities and stimulate or block processes in the neuronal network. The latest achievements in this field are implants in the form of a flexible mesh that can be injected directly into the brain in a minimally invasive way using a syringe. The mesh can be used to treat neurological diseases such as Parkinson's or brain damage caused by strokes.
Heart transplants with robotic hearts, 3D printing of organs and limbs, implants that turn the blind into sighted people and allow the deaf to hear again - all this is already possible. So why not take it a step further and use hearing aids to monitor body temperature and pulse while playing music? Artist and co-founder of the "Cyborg Foundation" Neil Harbisson has had an antenna implanted that treats his color blindness and lets him experience colors in a whole new way: He says he can hear them.

TECHNOLOGY

Super-rich technology gurus in the U.S. are going one step further: They want to have experimental implants placed in their brains that allow them to communicate directly with simple forms of artificial intelligence. Smart digital tattoos are aiming in a similar direction: the company Dangerous Things has developed an NFC chip that is pricked into the finger through a tattoo-like process. The wearer can use it to open cars, for example, or enter codes with the swipe of a finger.
Technological advances are creating new symbioses between humans and machines. They are redefining what we are and can do. But this is nothing new; it is a constant in the history of mankind: we have always used technology to expand our senses and our selves. In this respect, transhumanism is a logical continuation - in a new context with completely new technological possibilities.
 

PREVENTION OF DISEASES

The prevention of serious illnesses and diseases is also the focus of transhumanism. the goal is a peaceful and healthy world without hunger and poverty, and this is what the project stands for.
