Not so much that...but it would be kinda schitzy, neh? Or maybe not ...like having a laptop in yer head that just helped and expanded consciousness...I don't think I'd want one but I can think of a lot of people who would. Depends on who programs the software!

It reminds me of Total Recall in a way.

Researchers are developing a neural implant that can think independently—just like the human brain does. Creepy? Yeah. Cool? Definitely. 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.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/06/researchers-dev.html">"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."</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E5AF99FE-7CA4-4BB9-9E35-57BD9CD134BD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
