This is almost too fantastic for words. A banjo player helping guide neurosurgeons by playing the banjo while under the knife. Thank you BoingBoing.

Cute, but I think it could be done better. As in, tied more directly with actual science. And then applied to a character who is given these "implants" and put in a taxing situation beyond his wherewithall to adapt to. Imagine if you had a new sense all of a sudden, that ilicited strong emotional reactions, yet you didn’t know yet what it was sensing. Interesting. Click the pic for more.

I’ve worked it out. There are 5 to the fucking-bloody-helleventy billion possible phenomenological states of the mind for every human that has ever lived and had a thought every half-second. In other words, infinite. Final proof that there is no need for a soul to exist for the experience of life to be completely and ineffibly subjective for each and every one of us. The soul is dead, long live Queen Brainium.

Maybe this will go into a story as exposition. Maybe it will simply inform a character who is obviously obsessed with such tinkerings. Stay tuned to find out!
