The other day I read about a brain interface that uses a human's passively viewing things to notify an algorithm of a particular condition. I'm not describing it very well, but the point was that the human brain picks up on visual cues so quickly, even without processing them consciously, that the signals can sort of be hijacked by a program that is filtering visuals for a specific item or change in status. I understood it as the first true implementation of a cyborg sense that goes beyond merely connecting the "same old" sensors and processors to yourself that you can already buy off the shelf. This is something that couldn't be picked up consciously by the person, and the sensor would not pick up the signal without the human brain response to it. It allowed for very rapidly sorting through images that were too fast to be seen consciously, but enough that the expected brain regions still reacted. I really hope to hear more of this sort of hybrid brain-compute interface in the future. This is one way to use brain power that you aren't even aware is already there for use. I'll update this reply if I find the link. Unless of course someone beats me to it.
