Tim Cannon

Tim Cannon is the owner of a software company that conducts biotechnology studies. Therefore, he was the first man who made biohack attempts are to wear sensors. Thanks to the sensor called "circadia" placed under the skin, it can measure the body temperature and pulse and send it to the phone. After proving these, Cannon has removed the sensors from the body and now works to produce artificial heart.
 

Neil Harbisson

He is a illustrator. The reason he applied to biohack is that he was born with a rare color blindness acromato- phy. That's the main reason he applied to Cyborg. In 2003, he began to distinguish the colors by placing an antenna-like device in his head. The antenna is actually connected to a camera and turns the waves of light waves into sound waves, allowing Harbisson to really hear colors.
 

Rich Lee

Stelarc
