Military Hopes Implantable Chip Can Synch Brains to Computers
From: Product Design & Devlopment - 01/26/2016

DARPA announced that it has formed a program to develop an implantable chip
that would allow humans to share information with computers.

The Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) program’s innovative technology
would connect the information used by the brain’s neurons with technology,
resulting in “unprecedented signal resolution and data-transfer bandwidth”
between human and machine.

The possibilities for what the chip, which shouldn’t be more than one cubic
centimeter in size, could help to accomplish are exciting. A person who has
trouble hearing, for example, could be fed additional auditory information to
supplement the shortcoming.
