[color=66ff00]I get to see technology of this type in uni, most of my lectures take place in the Northern Ireland Biomedical Engineering Centre or NIBEC.
Amoungst other things they're designing and fabricating body monitor systems for NASA.

Makes for an interesting degree.

Brains are smart.

Have you ever noticed how interesting it is when you feel that your brain and body are sometimes seperate from your concious?

And cool gizmo, btw.

IceFire: Even though those things are good, because they make hacking a mind impossible, it also means that there is no way to make sensory input possible. So you'd still need eyesight to properly controll the computer.

You could get LCD(or some new type of) display implanted in you're eyes.  I'm surprised that their aren't more eyeglass style displays available.  How cool would it be to have a HUD for your eyes?

Actually I heard about some blind guy a couple years back, who has a chip in his head and wears a camera on his glasses, allowing him to see (albeit poorly -- his brain ain't used to processing images).

So that's sensory input.
