On the 24th of August 1998, Kevin Warwick began Project Cyborg by having a simple RFID transmitter implanted beneath his skin to control doors, lights, and heaters based on proximity. A more complex neural interface arrived later for the second stage of the experiment involving a BrainGate sensor.
On the 14th of March 2002, doctors implanted a BrainGate sensor under local anaesthetic at the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford. The silicon square connected directly into his nervous system via the median nerve in his left wrist to link with the Internet at Columbia University in New York.
British Airways refused Hissing Sid a ticket because they did not allow animals in the cabin. This incident occurred while the robot cat toured Russia with Kevin Warwick during a British Council lecture tour.
A controversy began in August 2002 when Kevin Warwick offered to implant a tracking device into an 11-year-old girl as an anti-abduction measure. The plan produced mixed reactions with endorsement from worried parents but ethical concerns from children's societies before the idea was abandoned.
