cyberpunk dream? let’s start with the Monkeys

I’ve always been fascinated about the cyberbrain idea in ghost in the shell. But like everybody else, I also don’t feel very well when think about messing up with the brain with cyber devices. Now scientists eventually can’t hold their evil instinct and made the first step on Monkeys. Although “he predicts it will be longer before the devices are used in actual patients with disabilities.”, actually Schwartz, professor of neurobiology at University of Pittsburgh’s School of Medicine, means it would probably be “two years”. So maybe it’s reasonable to imagine that in 10 to 20 years you would see normal people operating computer and robots in their daily life with sensors in their brain, (and maybe getting feedbacks with actuators and thus getting brain hacked on a regular basis.). How horrible! How terrific! Let’s pray.
