Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, MIT Media Lab; Co-Director, K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics, MIT. Hugh Herr marries human physiology with electromechanics to produce systems that emulate human biomechanics, improving mobility for those with paralysis and limb loss. LAB WEBSITE.
In an unforgettable talk, he details "NeuroEmbodied Design," a methodology for creating cyborg function that he's developing at the MIT Media Lab, and shows us a future where we've augmented our bodies in a way that will redefine human potential -- and, maybe, turn us into superheroes.
