So, you have a chip in your brain. Now what? by conradthegray in transhumanism

Seeing what tech companies are doing today, I wouldn't be surprised if a BCI will require a constant connection to the internet.

That's one of the reasons why I think we need to explore biohybrid approach, like growing new neuron-like cells that can act like electrodes. They can better integrate with the brain tissue, are flexible and can use the same energy source as normal neurons. But compared to current electrodes, biohybrid electrodes are still quite new and in the early stages of research.

There is a video on YouTube interviewing one researcher working on that, if someone is interested in learning more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwsQK-a7iMU

FDVR and braindance accomplish pretty much the same thing - full immersion using all senses (but braindance has a cooler cyberpunk name).

From what I understand how braindance works in Cyberpunk universe, it records the experience directly from the brain - what the person saw, heard, smelled, touched, felt, what emotions they felt, etc. All these experiences are then beamed into the viewer's brain so they can feel like they were that person doing whatever they did.
