I think sawing the skull off is a little radical...]]>Jul 31st 2009 8:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/In most simple surgeries (i.e. removing something whether it's the appendix or a baby) the part that takes the longest amount of time isn't getting in to remove whatever you need to remove but all the stuff afterwards where you have to make sure you haven't left any bleeding vessels or mess behind, then suture left everything back together correctly.

At any rate drilling into the brain is to get laproscopic access holes wouldn't really be much less invasive than just taking off part of the skull even if it sounds a lot more extreme.]]>Jul 31st 2009 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Aug 1st 2009 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/]]>Aug 2nd 2009 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/cool]]>Jul 31st 2009 9:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Jul 31st 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Jul 31st 2009 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Aug 1st 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Jul 31st 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Jul 31st 2009 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Jul 31st 2009 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/Jul 31st 2009 9:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/brain-carpet-microelectrodes-could-help-translate-thoughts-into/
How long until I can get my cranium sawn off, fitted with a chromed bezel with locking lugs, and a removable stainless dome, so I can pop the hood and tinker with my own mind-machine interface at will?

In the craziest ways, talking electrodes and human body, imagine i put you in a suit that controls your muscles via electrodes.
Either i control your Epiglottis so air can't reach your lungs and let you suffocate.
Or i make your hand clamp your throat with so you strangle yourself, wich would not be possible without the electrodes.
The police would not know what theyre looking at :), i know it's an elaborate way to kill someone. Thank you creative brain.

I'm currently learning how to do this. I will not use it to murder or threaten someone, it's purely research.
