Mark Gasson[1] is a British scientist and senior research fellow at the Cybernetic Intelligence Research Group[2], University of Reading, UK. He pioneered developments in direct interfaces between computer systems and the human nervous system[3], is active in the research fields of robotics and identity[4] and pursues many public engagement in science activities. In 2010 he claimed to be the first human to be infected with a computer virus[5], however the only distinction between Gasson's so-called "infection" and someone carrying a smartphone compromised by malicious software is that Gasson put the electronics in question under his skin.
