"Ever wanted to send someone a message with nothing but your mind, or have a neural implant that gives your brain direct access to Google? Hundreds of corporate and academic labs across the world are working on projects that generate progress in this area. Check out the Berlin Brain-Computer Interface, which lets you move the cursor around on a screen with only your EEG waves and 20 minutes of training. Miniature fMRI will allow us to continue increasing the bandwidth between brain and computer, eventually allowing for a “mental typewriter” that converts thoughts into text. A tiny transmitter could send this to a bone-conduction device on the receiving person, letting them hear the message without sound. NASA is also working on a device to transcribe silent, ’subvocal’ speech. Like many transhumanist upgrades, these will probably start as efforts to help people who are handicapped, then evolve into powerful tools that can be used by anyone bold enough to adopt them."

I vant ze money Lebowski!
Thanks for the link - maybe will go down the 'robocop' route after all! I'm having some trouble with my other Idea, I was thing about a video game where users get to to write of their own scenarios for the a detailed sandbox game world for other people to play through - kind of like the way the modding community make extra levels maps for shooters, but a bit more touchy feely and emotion based rather than action.
...but that just sounds a bit like piss. Maybe Micháel can help me out with lashing down the specifics.
Sigh. I just don't know.
Cool to see your blog has taken off - and doubly cool see good old Professor X working his voodoo, too!
I'm coming back tomorrow to cut off your johnson.
Ok, I sussed out what the trouble is with student loan. Check out my blog and see if it sounds like you've got the same problem as me.
