Brain-Implanted Chips Allow Control of Technology

Nilchii writes "The Guardian has an article about implanting electrodes in the brain, allowing paralyzed people to control various software-integrated devices, such as the cursor on a computer and the channel and volume of his television. From the article: 'The experiment took place a few months ago as part of a broader trial into what are known in the business as brain-computer interfaces. Although it is early days, aficionados of the technology see a world where brain implants return ability to those with disability, allowing them to control all manner of devices by thought alone.'" The BBC has coverage of this as well, and we've mentioned this research before.

Again for the "disabled"

[Eunuch]

Since getting castrated, I see our future better. These types of innovations keep coming up in the context of making the "disabled" normal again. Well I want to be better than normal. As fragile sacks of water, we are disabled already. Transhumanism is the way out of our disability.
