2008 USC Body Computing Conference 2.0: Keynote Address

The 2008 University of Southern California Body Computing Conference was held at USC on October 24, 2008, hosted by Leslie Saxon, chief of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. The keynote address was presented by Michael Chorost, author of Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human.

Dr. Chorost gave an illuminating talk on the intersection of technology, medicine, and humanity. A dual cochlear implant recipient, he is a real-life cyborg, and has become a leading advocate and thinker in the field of body computing. His research and knowledge of the field are vast, and his unique perspective as both an advocate and recipient of the technology is invaluable.
