WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the late 1990s, Irish neuroscientist Dr. Phil Kennedy made headlines when he decided to implant several wire electrodes into the brain of a paralysed man, and then help him communicate using computer technology. He attracts attention again in 2014 when he decides to have tiny electrodes planted inside his own brain, in an attempt to continue his research into the link between the human mind and modern technology…
