The question of interfacing is an extremely important one. Just because you have the means to make the connection does not necessarily mean you have the capability to understand the 'language' of signalling. I will admit that the visual system is one of the most studied of human physiology, but there are still many questions to be answered. Nanotechnology is not the ultimate solution to any one problem, particulary this one. . . .
Crystal light? I found a much better way to destroy your computer is to turn it on end and spoon in oatmeal and honey. Once you think you can't get any more in, violently jab the spoon into your floppy drive. . .
This is perhaps the most important aspect of the research- to eventually come to an understanding of the computational and connective aspects of the brain. This is an incredible field of science that is just starting to gain recognition beyond those whose imaginations take this sort of stuff and place it in paranoid fantasies or the latest sci-fi novel. I predict in the next decade you will be seeing much more from these researchers and those like them. Hopefully my name will be attached to a discovery like this in the near future.
