The Future of Human Enhancement: Computer Chips for Humans
In recent years, the idea of implanting computer chips into the human body has evolved from science fiction to a topic of serious scientific and technological discussion. While the notion of merging technology with the human brain may sound like a dystopian idea, advances in neuroscience, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence (AI) are making it a reality. The possibility of computer chips for humans could revolutionize medicine, human capabilities, and our relationship with technology itself. The Evolution of Brain-Computer Interfaces Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are devices that enable direct communication between the brain and external machines, bypassing the need for physical movement or speech. Early BCI technologies focused on assisting individuals with disabilities. For example, those who have lost the ability to move their limbs due to spinal cord injuries have been able to control robotic prosthetics using BCIs. This breakthrough represents just the beginning of wh...
