..WOW>!!!!..brain implants...

[scalf]

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] just saw a report on cnbc about brain implants that allow human quadriplegic to move cursor on computor..just by thinking it...along with software to help connectivity...

also mentioned ..duke med school reports brain implant in monkey allowed for movent of robotic arm, just by thinking...

wow...

this might cause the most significant change in how humans view themselves....

or at least allow a chris reeves type a better life..

This is actually old technology... several years old. They have short term memory chips that work with rats, cyborg eyeballs foe humans, cyborg ears, etc.

The technology is still being tested of course, but it works.

how sad that that's what it takes to get people to realize that humans are just advanced animals, and the brain is just an advanced computer.

I think about a dozen normally blind people are seeing with these.

You can google the rest.

Other technology they have...

brain prosthesis - remote control mouse
brain prosthesis - Memory add on for small mammals.
Transparent aluminum
Glassy Metal
High Density Holographic Storage
Light (as in sunrays) Computer Chips
Hot Fusion
Space elevator (In developement, but they say the technology is here)
Nanotech Materials
Cure for paralyisis in just about all mammals but humans.
And much much more.

This is why federal funding of research is so important. All of of these technologies were made possible one way or another by federal funding. Business's don't like to take risks. Business's go for profit.
