Your brain on computers

I thought this was interesting and it has nothing to do with politics so I'm pretty sure RichPLS has not posted it yet.

This guy is paralysed from the neck down. These doctors/scientists create a computer chip named the 'Braingate' and attach it to the part of his brain that controls motor skills. They then link the chip to a computer and now the guy can surf the web, write email, play video games and remotely control appliances in his house through the chips connection to the computer. He has even learned to flip through channels, talk and move his head around all at the same time. The FDA approved the chip for use on four other patients.

I'm not sure whether to be amazed or really, really scared.

Did I hear FAQ?

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, MSI 6800Ultra stock, 2X30gig Raid0

But I remember a someone.. maybe Ned, putting up a post that had a little 5 minute video on how to post in forums.. read the FAQ first, etc.

But then again, this guy also looks like someone's alter-ego on here using a different name to post..
Just my stupid thoughts though..



But on the chips, it's geared toward brain waves of people, so it's very limited on it's basis.. but things will change with that.

People have different brain waves and thinking, so a one for all wouldn't work.. it'd be like getting custom glasses, where each person is different.. but interesting yet.

LMAO ad SoD

muahahah rofl

Still an amazing feet, wait till they put built-in google search that transfer the result to your glasses WHOA.

Prediction: By 2015 google will be able to find your lost socks
