What does a computer chip in the body “connect” to, and how?

338 viewsOtherTechnology

I understand putting a chip in the body when it’s only supposed to passively hold information (e.g. one of those tagging chips for lost pets). But if it’s a chip that’s supposed to do something (say, translating brain signals into actions), how does it “know” what it’s supposed to do? I’m picturing wiring up individual nerves to the chip to provide it with information, but that can’t be right.

In that case, you would be looking at essentially a complete little computer of sorts. This computer might have sensors for specific environmental bits around it, such as nerves, which it might be constantly sensitive to the signals of. These nerve signals would then be interpreted by the computer on the chip according to whatever instructions/setup is was designed with, and go from there.
