It might be the next step in curing human ailments, or the next step in control.

I have cochlear implants , and am glad the technology exists. It’s not as good as hearing naturally was but it sure beats being deaf. Someday in the near future Steve Austin the 6 million dollar man may go from fantasy to reality. I see it as a good thing until someone abuses it.

I met a guy who had locked-in syndrome, it could help him and others like him for sure. But I don’t have a good feeling about it for humans in general.

Wonderful technology!   Slave prosthetic devices to it.

It could be a huge help for a lot of disabled people.

Wonder if it would help me with calculus?

Probably but would it be worth it?

Nope. I swore off that mind numbing stuff after high school.

I'll stick with being a chip off the old block.  No electronics required!

I tried reading the article but after paragraph one a little bar said “Continue reading in the app”. I tried using my mental abilities to continue but it wouldn’t happen…just like the concept of me putting a piece of electronics in my brain. It wouldn’t happen.

If you click on Expand Article it’ll continue without going to an app.
