Nerves connected to computers!

Hi All!

I spotted this updated link to Prof. Kevin Warwicks work in the field of cybernetics.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/te ... 886700.stm

Looks like he's got a few potentially good ideas, and a few doubters as well.

Oh well, people have always doubted the "tryers" and inventors throughout history, I hope they're wrong this time and that his work turns something up for peeps like us!

I think this is the guy who is also trying to "record" feeling from his movements. A similar chip would be implented in his wife and then the signals would be played back.

I don't think he is a nut but I agree the value of his research is a bit questionable.
