Science is progressing pretty quickly these days.  The more knowledge we have available, the faster the progression.  Scientists have developed chips that can meld with our brains.  This is a much more advanced technology than what I’ve covered previously.

“These implants have the potential to maximize the contact between electrodes and brain tissue, while minimizing damage to the brain. They could provide a platform for a range of devices with applications in epilepsy, spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders,” said Walter Koroshetz, M.D., deputy director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health.

The study, published in Nature Materials, shows that the ultrathin flexible implants, made partly from silk, can record brain activity more faithfully than thicker implants embedded with similar electronics.

Maybe when the technology is ripe and affordable, and I have the money to pay for it, and the need to live longer… I might get an upgrade.  For now, I’ll have to make sure I stay as young as I can for as long as I can.
