Eye, ear, lung, heart, and brain enhancements are now possible as modern
electronics technology meets advances in medicine and biology. 

Modern electronics technology is merging with nanotechnology, advanced
implants, solar- and light-powered devices, and major sensor advances in
medicine and biology. 

Retinal-prosthesis development can help restore sight to people who have
retinal-degnerative diseases, such as macular degeneration. 

Cochlear-implant systems need to intelligently separate information from
noise.
