- dm2 12y agoYep, lots of teams working on BCIs. The rapid learning by introducing an electric current at a specific certain parts of the brain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_direct-current_stimulation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_direct-current_sti... http://www.technologyreview.com/view/427177/diy-kit-overclocks-your-brain-with-direct-current/ http://www.technologyreview.com/view/427177/diy-kit-overcloc... BCIs are getting more and more attention. Imagine being able to hook up a processor, external storage, or even directly connecting to the internet using a BCI. Even connecting two brain is possible (and has been done). Some people say that one day we'll all be one connected organism, when we die just throw the brains in a big tank and let them live forever, like Futurama. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/527561/military-funds-brain-computer-interfaces-to-control-feelings/ http://www.technologyreview.com/news/527561/military-funds-b... http://www.army-technology.com/features/featurebrain-computer-interfacing-military-mind-control/ http://www.army-technology.com/features/featurebrain-compute...
