I think its really nice, maybe precursor for wired reflexes or MBW ?

If i understand this right, this is a bridge across areas of the spine that have been damaged. This in comparison to other solutions where they have run wires from the skull to attempt to activate muscles.

awesome find.
However, reading the articles I don't see how it could improve a working spine for better reaction speed or athletics. To me, it pretty much just looks like a way of reconnecting previously broken nerves. |

You are right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) so dunno, how its really shadowruny, maybe just technooptimistic. |

Depends on the data transfer rate of the implant in comparison to undamaged spinal cord....
If the implants are faster, then there is now a reason to use it to replace healthy nerves and voila, you now have reaction enhancers. |

On the same page there is a link to a discussion about a telepscopic eye-implant.

Nerves are actually fairly slow about transmitting information, so using wires which transmit information at the speed of light could improve reaction times significantly. |
