Naively I would say cybernetics. To my knowledge I don't think there are many regulations governing the types of things that people can implant in themselves. If you try to market a device as a cybernetic or make health claims about it then the FDA will come after you, but self implantation of hardware is likely not regulated much.
- cbnotfromthere 7y agoCybernetics has nothing at all to do with cyborg implants.
- lsiebert 7y agoThere are absolutely huge regulations around what people can put in others though, even tattoos and piercings.

- theamk 7y agoAre you using the right word? cybernetics is "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine." I have seen it use to mean classical control theory, machine learning, UX design, and general computers -- but this is the first time I see it being used for implants. I guess you can say "cyborgization"?
- Thriptic 7y agoWell what I mean is human augmentation with machines. I'm actually not sure what the proper word is.

- Rarok 7y agoSelf implantation of hardware would mean the exercise of medicine without licence for it even if it's in yourself.
