Who's ready to share their nervous system with a hyperintelligent a.i.?

Here are some scientific papers which discuss the state of different neuromodulation implants that can be nonsurgically administered.

"With new technology, scientists are able to exert wireless control over brain cells of mice with just the push of a button. The first thing they did was make the mice hungry."

The present invention provides noninvasive methods and compositions for the remote control of cell function based on the use of radiofrequency waves or a magnetic field to excite paramagnetic nanoparticles expressed in specific cell types. Cellular manipulations include, for example, modulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, apoptosis, gene expression, activation or inhibition of one or more cellular processes and/or activation or inhibition of one or more signal transduction pathways. In certain embodiments the cells of interest are neurons.

Administering can be performed by implant, via catheter, intravenously, intramuscularly, topically, dermally, intranasally, orally, etc..

Dr. James Giordano, Chief of the Neuroethics Studies Program and Scholar-in-Residence in the Pellegrino Center for Clinical Bioethics at Georgetown University, speaks to cadets and faculty about how advancements in neuroscience and neurotechnology will impact the future of war. This event was hosted by the Modern War Institute at West Point.

The Next-Generation Nonsurgical Neurotechnology (N3) program aims to develop high-performance, bi-directional brain-machine interfaces for able-bodied service members. Such interfaces would be enabling technology for diverse national security applications such as control of unmanned aerial vehicles and active cyber defense systems or teaming with computer systems to successfully multitask during complex military missions.

I think it’ll be a long time before we merge our nervous system with AI, just because it will require a lot of research/advancements/testing in neuroscience/biomedical engineering.

This is the future… non invasive INPUT. That’s full dive tech, that’s the end of VR.

Now please… make it quickly.

Thanks for the information, magnetoelectric nanoparticles... The big EEG BCI issue was always the diffusion of the signal by the cerebral fluid as far as I can recall. I'll have to come back to this one.

BCI to me is first interesting along the life extension route, too bad Hawking didn't make it long enough to have a fluent BCI.

Facebook just unveiled a vr headset today with the same resolution as the quest 2 for 5x the price and some added gimmicks after 2 years of spending 10 billion a year on r and d.

Technology is moving at snail pace. You aren't likely to ever merge with tech.
