On February 19, the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies will present a guest lecture by Michael Chorost, PhD, entitled "Cyborg Ear, Cyborg Mind."  Dr. Chorost is a science writer who has been deaf since 2001 and uses bilateral cochlear implants. He lectures extensively about cochlear implant technology and is the author of numerous articles about the technology and his own choice to use it, including "Confessions of a Bionic Man"  (Washington Post, April 13, 2008) and others.  In his lecture, Dr. Chorost will discuss his personal experiences and explore implications for future integration of technological devices into the human body. He will also demonstrate the audio effect of sound filtered through a cochlear implant, so hearing audience members can experience a simulation of the device's performance.
