    Other fantastical things that the heavy-lifting word “may” allows us to speculate on:

    • Brain implant may enable you to orgasm on command.
    • Brain implant may allow you to watch Netflix, in your mind.
    • Brain implant may enable you to turn the lights on and off in a house from thoughts alone.
    • Brain implant may enable you to talk with animals, maybe. We don’t know.
    • Brain implant may kill you unexpectedly when the biofilm begins to breakdown and the resulting infection destroys your brain from the inside out, as you slowly lose cognitive function. Results say that if you live by yourself, you’ll never realize that your getting cognitive functions are failing until it’s too late.
    • Brain implant may allow you to access the other 80% of your brain. May allow you to…blow things up with your mind.

    Love articles like this. Speculation is so much fun. Can’t believe that there are so many articles like this out there.
