Interesting.
I've been saying for years that we are well past the time of "Science Fiction". We have moved into an era of "Science maybe" and possibilities. Brain-run "computers". Yea, pretty soon we'll be talking to everything from cars to our front door.

Not to mention... the dog brain cells had to learn. The next question is... if brain cells are taken from a kid who has been playing quake 3 for a year, will they integrate faster with the system?
