A ‘Matrix-style’ human brain to cloud interface could become a reality “within decades,” according to exciting new research by US neuroscientists and nanorobotics researchers.

The team points to existing developments in the areas of nanorobotics and neural interface technology which, they admit, is still only in its infancy. The end goal of such technology would be downloading information to the brain, enhancing not only human capabilities and intelligence, but could also “revolutionize democracy, enhance empathy, and ultimately unite culturally diverse groups into a truly global society.”
