WITH ALL OUR OTHER PROBLEMS, AT LEAST WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING REPLACED BY A RACE OF SUPERINTELLIGENT APES. . . . UH OH: Scientists make monkeys smarter using brain implants. I guess we’ll just have to get ’em too, to keep up: “For the very first time, scientists have demonstrated that a brain implant can improve thinking ability in primates. By implanting an electrode array into the cerebral cortex of monkeys, researchers were able to restore — and even improve — their decision-making abilities. The implications for possible therapies are far-reaching, including potential treatments for cognitive disorders and brain injuries. But there’s also the possibility that this could lead to implants that could boost your intelligence. Here’s how they did it.”
