I realize that its not the same thing but I'm raising the other issue because both of them concern the subject of animal treatments. And why not an iPhone app? Hackers don't need a reason do something new. A simple reason I can think of is to demonstrate that this is possible and also get people interested in the field so that more research is done. I would very much like to see computers directly connected to human brain and I/O being done on it in the future.
