With the help of artists and body-augmentation proponents Moon Ribas and Neil Harbisson--Ribas uses an elbow sensor that registers earthquakes for avant-garde dance performances; the colorblind Harbisson as an antenna implanted in his skull that transposes the visual stimuli of color into sound--Liviu Babitz and Scott Cohen launched the biohacking company Cyborg Nest in 2016.
For example, Trend Micro expects to see cases of biohacking in 2018, exploiting the vulnerability of connected health care tools like wearables and medical devices.
In any discussion of biohacking, Exhibit A is likely to be the "glowing plant," the wildly successful 2013 Kickstarter campaign that raised $484,013 to create bioluminescent plants visible at night.
Por su parte, el Biohacking o punto de encuentro entre la biologia y la etica hacker, propone activistas que se identifican con el movimiento biopunk, el transhumanismo y el tecno-progresismo, desde la experimentacion de tecnicas medicas, nutricionales y electronicas que incluyen a la cibernetica, el registro de datos biometricos y el uso de nootropicos o drogas inteligentes, estimulantes de la memoria y potenciadores cognitivos.
