Bionics aims to make nature’s engineering skills, which are several million years old, usable for humans. In this sense, we humans – as part of nature – can also use applied synergetics to make nature’s secrets of success usable for ourselves. The Velcro fastener on our anorak goes back to the burdock plant.
Prof. Dr. Nachtigall, a recognized and outstanding representative of the new branch of natural science bionics (a combination of the words biology and technology) also sums it up for synergetic work when he postulates: “Highly complex neuronal systems, such as our brain, eventually reach a point where they influence their own development.”
