Popular Science has an interesting article on a guy developing a chip that could one day be implanted in the brain to cure Alzheimer’s disease or help with memory loss.

Srinivasan explains that the chip is sending electric pulses through the needle into the brain slice, which is passing them on to the screen we’re watching. “The difference in the waves’ modulation reflects the signals sent out by the brain slice,” he says. “And they’re almost identical in frequency and pattern to the pulses sent by the chip.” Put more simply, this iron-gray wafer about a millimeter square is talking to living brain cells as though it were an actual body part.

I can't believe no one had jumped out there yet with the ol' T800 "My CPU is a neural-net processor..." line from T2
 
When they come out with the fearless chip, that counter acts against the brain impulses of fear that go through your body when you are startled by something. You can bet, I will be a beta tester!

But seriously, this is amazing, and it only further the fact that living organisms and electronics can be combined... I guess when all this stuff plus bionics comes down in price and increases in productivity, we can all enjoy watching new episodes of Pimp Out My Body (and no I don't mean this in a derogative way) :p
 
My CPU is a Neur -oh, nevermind

I think its scary.... this cant be far off from controlling minds
 
This would be awesome, but I can't imagine it being economical.

Imagine being able to implant this in all your soldiers, they would know every single technique and object on the battlefield, they would know coordinates like the back of their hand and would know multiple languages.

It would certainly bring jeopardy to an end ;)
 
o.o ghost in the shell anyone?
If they can write data on there before hand and use it as a memory implant it would be awesome. With the fast pace of science and technology development now, future generations would need this just to go through middle school. Have memory chips do the memorizing and the brain cells do the thinking. Just don't overclock it, or you'll void your brain.
 
Will it help with alcohol-induced memory problems?

If so, I'm not sure whether to sign up or run for the hills

I'll bet my ex-wife wants one, though

Haha I was going to post that. Watching that show makes me never want to have electronics implanted in to my body esp. if they have wireless communication capability. Don't need to have my eyes hacked so I can't see what's really there.
