# Human Machine Fusion Could Go Beyond Restoring Function by Cyborg Soldier 2050 Study Group > “The cyborg technologies assessed in this study go beyond augmentation, which restores function from injury or disease, and are envisioned to enhance performance through a range of modifications from the functional to the radically structural beyond the normal baseline for humans.” > **— Emanuel, Walper, DiEuliis, Klein, Petro and Giordano**, *2019, Cyborg Soldier 2050, §2* ## Sources and Context - **Primary report:** [*Cyborg Soldier 2050*, CCDC CBC-TR-1599, §2](https://wespenrevideos.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/US-Army-SuperSoldiers2050.pdf). The report was prepared by a six-author DOD Biotechnologies for Health and Human Performance Council study group. Its title-page disclaimer says its findings are **not official policy or position** of the Army, National Defense University, DOD, or U.S. Government. - **Meaning:** This sentence defines the study's scope beyond restoration; it does not say radically structural modifications had been fielded. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] - **Article:** [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] - **Article:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Neural Interfaces and Continuity Architecture|Neural Interfaces and Continuity Architecture]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Cyborg Soldier 2050|Cyborg Soldier 2050]] - [[wiki/Human-Machine Symbiosis|Human-Machine Symbiosis]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “The cyborg technologies assessed in this study go beyond augmentation, which restores function from injury or disease, and are envisioned to enhance performance through a range of modifications from the functional to the radically structural beyond the normal baseline for humans.” — Emanuel et al., Cyborg Soldier 2050, 2019 https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-cyborg-soldier-beyond-restoration ```
