Intel: Chip in Brain Implants Are the Future

[scione]

what happens if we get a virus ....

 

[tester24]

What happens if the person doesn't have the mental capacity to envoke a repsonse to the chip?

THIS CAN't be Intel plans for making cpu's stops at age 2012!!!

I always knew this was coming.

I always had an idea to pass on the Billions of TB's of information from us to are children.

A child would never have to do the same school we already did.

Why should we learn and relearn the same things every generation.

If you ask me it's a Major setback in the progression of are future.

Million of combine years have bean Wasted learning what we already know.

[citation][nom]cheepstuff[/nom]i think the biggest problem is heat dissapation. i mean, your brain dies at 108 degrees F (42 C), so those processors are going to have to be LOW power or external (outside the brain). could you imagine getting brain damage on the tissue around your implants from the heat. anyway, it seems like a viable concept since they have been implanting chips on people's brains for years in medical applications.[/citation]
As a matter of fact, 30mW is about the max the chips will be able to use safely inside the cranium. That's enough to increase surrounding tissue temperature by 1C, which is as far as you want it to go.

no chip in my brain. period. my thoughts will stay there.

What do I have to think about to input CTRL-ALT-DEL?

The answer is simple. The same thing you are thinking now or wha ever you were thinking as typed CTRL-ALT-DEL. It's that simple!

... anybody seen 'Surrogates'?

Its unlikely that invasive digital components in the brain will be successful. The chemistry of the body is too unforgiving for such technologies to integrate properly. By 'unforgiving' its just that the biochemical processess are so interconnected and dependent that the inclusion anything other that what we were born with would probably break something important. I'm thinking of the hundreds of enzymes in the body that are responsible for its proper functioning. Disrupt the way these enzymes function and you have disaster. Some of the remote RF technologies will undoubtfully be useful though. To make an analogy, imagine trying to upgrade a 1GB memory chip into a 2GB memory chip while the chip is in a functioning computer, without interruption of its operating system. We aren't smart enough to make the un-augmented brain work properly much less a brain with 'improvements'. Anyway, for the basic patents on the subject see U.S. Patent Number 3,951,134.

Did most of the posters even read the article? It's like they read chip and brain and immediately jumped to tens of conclusions that have nothing to do with this technology... The chip doesn't even interact with your brain. It's a one way conversation. The sensor would just read an input much like any old receiver.

[citation][nom]Area51[/nom]Wow, talk about intel Inside...[/citation]

Dude, YES!

In my opinion, there are are many advantages to this as there are disadvantages.

Sure. One advantage could be you can go for the crib notes chip with the college classes programed into the ROM and then you could pass all your test and there would be no reason to flunk out of college!

One disadvantage could be the night before finals you travel and walk through the extra strong airport scanner and you'd be sitting there in finals scratching your head or hitting it like you got water in your ear thinking the dang chip thing must have a loose connection.

There is no reason to think that it is the end of the line

 

[buwish]

I don't know about anyone else, but they sure as heck won't be implanting anything into my brain anytime soon.

To look at this from a serious viewpoint, this would be wonderful for helping the disabled use computers - and more than that. Surgery is still expensive, though, so mass-market applications are not really that likely...

 

[kronos_cornelius]

If devices like this start popping up where would the 5th amendment start, and where does a search warrant stop ?
We'll have time to think about it since technologies like this are permanently 10 years off.
Hydrogen card were 10 years off when I read about them in the 90's. Viable quantum computers are 10 years off. All we have being able to create this decade is fun toys like iPhones, and PS3's and Google Earth, and reality tv shows.

This is a bunch of BS. By 2020 computers will be controlling our brains, not the other way around.

I think most people don't want to have a chip in his brain (it's too eventual). But if it will possible to use a wireless connection without any operation, and you can disconnect when you want it will popular. It's not hart to connect the brain thanks to alpha-waves and other radio-waves, so I thint it is posible to make it like tis way.
Just imagine what will happen is you have a chip in your brain and you can't disconnect from the net, they can send you lots of commerials, they can take you under controll (and they will). Freedom is over. The ability of learning and exploring new things will disappear, and findi and finally we became the ultimate consumer. How it ends? No one knows.

[citation][nom]alanman[/nom]Didn't Intel also say 10GHz CPU's by 2011?You've got 13 months, Intel![/citation]if you compare the performance of current CPUs to a 10 GHz Pentium 2 CPU ... i guess we passed that barrier already.

 

[archange]

Say hello to brain-implanted adds that you can't skip 😀

Fully programmable mob, anyone?!

 

[ohim]

This shows that some people are too dumb to think for themselves, I bet when you surf the net you get adds because of your keyboard and mouse no ?

 

[wildwell]

Maybe this press release is just a PR stunt to get past that $1.8B ruling for AMD.
