I mean they are putting computer chips in brains, people are THINKING INTO THEIR COMPUTERS. Like this is nuts.

It is nuts, DickDay.  It is.  Did you want?

Brain Gate?

BrainGate's mission is to further the advancement of this life-changing technology to promote wider adoption to help impaired individuals communicate and interact with society. For instance, the Cyberkenetics BrainGate Neural Interface is currently the subject of a pilot clinical trial being conducted under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) from the FDA. The system is designed to restore functionality for a limited, immobile group of severely motor-impaired individuals. It is expected that people using the BrainGate System will employ a personal computer as the gateway to a range of self-directed activities. These activities may extend beyond typical computer functions (e.g., communication) to include the control of objects in the environment such as a telephone, a television and lights.

Brain Chips?

The line between living organisms and machines has just become a whole lot blurrier. European researchers have developed "neuro-chips" in which living brain cells and silicon circuits are coupled together.

The achievement could one day enable the creation of sophisticated neural prostheses to treat neurological disorders or the development of organic computers that crunch numbers using living neurons.

The proteins allowed the neuro-chip's electronic components and its living cells to communicate with each other. Electrical signals from neurons were recorded using the chip's transistors, while the chip's capacitors were used to stimulate the neurons.

Chips in the Brain?

Scientists at the University of Florida aren't just creating a neural implant that can translate human brain signals, but one that can act independently to increase its efficiency and synergy with the brain as it learns new things.

"In the grand scheme of brain-machine interfaces, this is a complete paradigm change," said Justin C. Sanchez, Ph.D., a UF assistant professor of pediatric neurology and the study's lead author. "This idea opens up all kinds of possibilities for how we interact with devices. It's not just about giving instructions but about those devices assisting us in a common goal. You know the goal, the computer knows the goal and you work together to solve the task."

The Implications are grand:

However, there is a whole slew of other fantastic sci-fi inspired applications that are theoretically possible with this type of computer "symbiote" implants. For example, how would you like to be able to calculate enormous equations in your own head? You'd just think about what you wanted calculated and your neural implant would do the work for you instantaneously. Or how would you like the entire library of congress stored neatly in your brain where you can access any kind of information you'd ever want instantly just by thinking about. You wonder to yourself, "When was Abraham Lincoln born?" Your symbiote could then theoretically feed the correct answer back to you in what felt as natural as your own thoughts.

Or maybe not so grand?

One day soon were all going to be seriously fucked up!

Stay Tuned...
