they use invasive BCI for accessing to single neural cell on patiences with epilepsy.

why? I think they used patients with epilepsy because they already had an implants with electrodes, for other reasons. Otherwise in normal subjects they could not obtain these results. I wonder who (among normal subject) would like to have electrodes implanted in the brain....thus they use subjects that already have an implant.

well if I got it correctly then the had to cut and fizzle around in these brains ... always scaring, and then they claim that we have in our brains in single neurons abstract images e.g. of marilyn monroe . they speak even of Marilyn Monroe neurons :-) similarily his question "who is in control? are we in control of our neurons or our neurons in control of us? " ....

Artificial cells could be built that not only replicate the electrical behavior of electric eel cells but in fact improve on them. Artificial versions of the eel's electricity generating cells could be developed as a power source for medical implants and

Brain electrodes wrongly implanted allow a man to reverse his memory loss

"As sensors in digital cameras fast approach the 127 megapixels of the human eye, clinical trials are under way to implant this technology directly into the retina".

Wow

coming soon to a garden near you: Snail Sensor Networks

Embedded sensors in humans monitoring specific health parameters.

"As you read this, your neurons are firing - that brain activity can now be decoded to reveal the silent words in your head TALKING to yourself used to be a strictly private pastime. That's no longer the case - researchers have eavesdropped on our internal monologue for the first time. The achievement is a step towards helping people who cannot physically speak communicate with the outside world." Or alternatively, a step towards snooping into individuals' privacy.

Soon we'll be able to see movies about our dreams!

Only if you are willing to have a chip implanted into/onto your brain though ^^

Bio-hacking/cyborg: implanting rare-earth magnets into your fingers to sense magnetic fields. At the same time quite awesome and quite extreme.
