Wiki Structure

This knowledge base is built upon the following taxonomy of HCE technologies which we based upon the taxonomy Bostrom and Sandberg (2006) use in their work.

We start in the middle from the External Hardware or Software category and work our way through the structure bottom-up. In other words, we will first describe the individual technologies and then comment on the entire meta-category after we feel that we sufficiently described its individual entries.

• Internal Hardware
  • Genetic Modifications
  • Brain-Computer Interface
  • Nutrition
  • Smart Drugs

• Internal Software
  • Education
  • Mental Training

• External Hardware or Software

          • Smart Contact Lenses
        • Other Head-mounted Devices
      • Body-worn Wearables
        • Limb-mounted
