RE: RFID Human Implants - Occupancy Detection

["Ward, David" <DAvid.Ward@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Good old fashioned British 'eccentric professors'

Our Cats had this done years ago, and personally I think our cats do more
USEFUL work for cyber-science than Mr Warwick
(which reminds me, I really must write that decoder software for the cheap
RFID readers I bought last year)

I notice it doesn't mention anything about the read/write distance

Roll on the time when RFIDs are common in supermarkets (Free RFID tags) and
the price of readers falls significantly

Not entirely accurate. First such implant was done back in 1999 by
Cybernetics Professor Kevin Warwick, Reading University.

For a detailed reference to his work including a recently implanted
electrode array allowing him to send and receive sensory signals :
