A wee bit off topic, but this sort of reminds me of Killua from the brilliant animé/manga series Hunter X Hunter. He learns to transform his Aura into electricity, and specialises in stimulating his muscles that way as opposed to through the neural pathways in his body. This makes him a lot faster, since the transmission of info from the brain via aura to the muscles is near-instant while nerve transmissions are quite slow.<BR><br><BR>Replace the "aura" with these devices and your reaction time would drop quite considerably. Complete and utter sci-fi though, don't think this tech will be better than our original wetware in the overseeable future.<br><BR><br><BR>Kim<BR><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:08:32 -0800<br>From: di.franco@aya.yale.edu<br>To: mrericboyd@yahoo.com<br>CC: cyborg@lists.noisebridge.net<br>Subject: Re: [Cyborg] wireless bionic implants<br><br>Short-range networking of medical implants is a perfect application for ultrawideband radios; I wonder how that got lost in this effort.<BR>

It says currently they actually *do* implant long wires under the skin,<br>
in operations that take several days. That's NUTS. But wireless might<br>
be almost as nuts, given how crowded spectrum is, and how critical these<br>
transmissions might eventually become for everyday activities of those<br>
implanted... Imagine being the FCC people who have to make this decision!<br>
