A rat nerve cell attached to a semiconductor chip has exchanged a signal with the chip, an achievement that could lead to organic computers that process information like a brain, say researchers.
In the long term, the technology also could lead to prosthetic limbs that are controlled by a person’s brain and nerves.
“If you know how single neurons couple to a chip, you can learn how whole tissue couples to a chip,” said Peter Fromherz, professor of biophysics at Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Germany and coordinator of the so-called NaChip project, which also involves researchers from the University of Padua, Italy, and the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

When I first saw this, I was stunned. This image looks nearly identical to the first page of the “Ghost in the Shell” manga.
We are that much closer to seeing a 6 million dollar man.
But really, this could help one day in making people with certain disabilities, to lead normal lives!! And that is a miracle, even if it’s man made.

I am a involentary recipiant of the Neurochip/Nachip.
On 03/03/2008 During an MRI at OPEN MRI of Potosi Missouri; Richard Hilton with the aid of Girardi Stefano at $20,000,000. dollars for the Nachip plus equipment, they’ve managed to drill a hole in my head and put thier chip into my brain 1mm2. The $^#^%&#&^ SOB thought I took his daughter and ran off with her, until he found out that I’m the wrong guy. Sure, the dame thing works graet, for ( months I’ve been talking none stop, dream control, axccused of erverything imaginable on the planet. I cannot wait to get this %%#%$#% dame thing out of my head!!! Thank you very much$#$&#$^#&^^*$*$&%%(^))_&**(&^)&&$####!!!
