Who else can't wait for a well-working brain input implant?

I’m not talking about iffy EEG (and the ERP algorithms) – or the fancier but impossible to carry MEGs. I’m talking about an implant somewhere on your cortex – and training to go with it. That can give you the ability to get reliable output. (Read-only) Reading is done right now in rat models, monkey models etc – how long till the application in humans? And how long till we can use it for reliable output?

I’m tired of typing. Dragon naturally speaking is decent with dictation but not great yet (hopefully that’ll improve soon). I have so much writing to get done but my biggest issue is the actual transfer – the ideas have matured and are swimming around. So long my memory can hold them with some integrity.

How fast would you guess the output speed would be in terms of writing. Or voicing thoughts. Do you think we could create an inter-thought language devoid of language itself?

Lots of other arising questions. Food for thought – discuss :) If you can help it – no one-liners. Or do your one-liner but input something more for the fun of the discussion – cheers.
