Wowser!
Jack in.
Something I don't get- Mussa-Ivaldi said the glass cone implant is bulkier, but its advantage is that brain cells grow around the glass, holding it in place.
I thought brain cells didn't grow (at least in adults).
With this much manure around, there must be a pony somewhere.

They don't reproduce...
but they can lay down new connections.
This is a form of growth.

Hmm. Hasn't that been rethought somewhat?
Thought I remembered a Scientific American article to the effect that somebody had discovered brain cells reproducing. Or is that just wishful thinking? (I'm well over 50, and the Senior Moments are coming closer and closer together these days :-)

Not that I know of...
But I haven't kept up in this field. And while there is a doctor in the house, she is doing a sub-internship (think "residency but it ends in 6 weeks") and so really deserves her rest...
Cheers, Ben

Not wishful thinking....
I think I remember the same thing...

I believe that's "mihnnnnnnnnkee"
I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make. I can't be a Republican because I like to spend the money I make on drugs and whores.

Sounds like an Atari experiement use for military uses
I remember hearing a rumor that Atari was working on a "Thinkstick" which would allow the device to read someone's mind to move the cursor or player/missile graphic on the screen. by thinking lweft, right, up, down, fire, you could play the video game.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

Mindlink
The Atari Mindlink, which (luckily) never did end up getting released, apparently worked primarily by reading your eyebrow muscles. I guess Eyebrow-Link didn't sound whizzy enough. Maybe it could have been the FrownMaster. Or the ForeheadTronic.
Take a quick look at it [link|http://www.atarihq.com/museum/2678/mindlink.html|here].
On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
