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

Question

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.

Answer 1

Chip has little connectors that can sense neurons in your brain firing. Converts those impulses into digital signals.

Binary is just on / off (1 and 0), after all.
