The real-life Matrix: MIT researchers reveal interface that can allow a computer to plug into the brain

The real-life Matrix: MIT researchers reveal interface that can allow a computer to plug into the brain  | Daily Mail Online: "It has been the holy grail of science fiction - an interface that allows us to plug our brain into a computer.

Combining the different channels in a single fiber, she adds, could enable precision mapping of neural activity, and ultimately treatment of neurological disorders, that would not be possible with single-function neural probes.

Now, researchers at MIT have revealed new fibres less than a width of a hair that could make it a reality. They say their system that could deliver optical signals and drugs directly into the brain, along with electrical readouts to continuously monitor the effects of the various inputs."
