humans now exist‚ designed to restore damaged hearing‚ sight and movement. The common thread throughout the research is the remarkable cortical plasticity of the brain‚ which often adapts to BCIs‚ treating prostheses controlled by implants as natural limbs. With recent advances in technology and knowledge‚ pioneering researchers could now conceivably attempt to produce BCIs that augment human functions rather than simply restoring them‚ previously only the realm of science fiction. 2.
