Scientists are developing a procedure to implant a brain into a brain. "I am two minds about that," will no longer be cop-out phrase but an accurate description of inter-brain discord. The possibilities are endless. The current technology only points at the ability of translating thoughts into movements, but one day the empathy-challenged may be able to implant a second brain that translates thoughts into emotions and feelings... perhaps even love. "The ultimate goal is to be able to reactivate paralyzed limbs," said Euisik Yoon, a professor in the U-M College of Engineering. But, Dr. Yoon, why not use the BioBolt to "reactivate paralyzed emotions?"
