Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anyone is doing any work with human-embedded computers, or
can direct me to research on the subject.  What I mean by this is computer
systems which have become in some way permanently attached to a persons
body.  I suppose this includes computerised pacemakers and the like, but
I'm more interested in the smart-card-wallet under the skin or watch-built-in
to-prosthetic-arm sort of thing.

It's just something I'm curious about, and I'm interested to know if
there's any work going on in the area.

J.
