I always thought that the terminator from the terminator movie
was only fictional. Now going through the present technological
advances I feel there is going to be a real terminator very soon
where we won’t be needing Arnie. Scientists in Europe have managed
to fuse brain cells with computer chips.
The line between living organisms and machines has just become a
whole lot blurrier. European researchers have developed
“neuro-chips” in which living brain cells and silicon circuits are
coupled together.
The achievement could one day enable the creation of sophisticated
neural prostheses to treat neurological disorders or the
development of organic computers that crunch numbers using living
neurons.
To create the neuro-chip, researchers squeezed more than 16,000
electronic transistors and hundreds of capacitors onto a silicon
chip just 1 millimeter square in size.
They used special proteins found in the brain to glue brain cells,
called neurons, onto the chip. However, the proteins acted as more
than just a simple adhesive.
“They also provided the link between ionic channels of the neurons
and semiconductor material in a way that neural electrical signals
could be passed to the silicon chip,” said study team member
Stefano Vassanelli from the University of Padua in Italy.
The proteins allowed the neuro-chip’s electronic components and its
living cells to communicate with each other. Electrical signals
from neurons were recorded using the chip’s transistors, while the
chip’s capacitors were used to stimulate the neurons.
It could still be decades before the technology is advanced enough
to treat neurological disorders or create living computers, the
researchers say, but in the nearer term, the chips could provide an
advanced method of screening drugs for the pharmaceutical
industry.
“Pharmaceutical companies could use the chip to test the effect of
drugs on neurons, to quickly discover promising avenues of
research,” Vassanelli said.
The researchers are now working on ways to avoid damaging the
neurons during stimulation. The team is also exploring the
possibility of using a neuron’s genetic instructions to control the
neuro-chip.
hasta la vista baby
So where's the software? 
By the way hor....if any desperate guys want to experience
Futuresex with T-1000/cyborg sex....they can all get a glass filled
with mercury and start having sex with the glass.
