Holy crap. How have I not heard of this before?

Artificial intelligence: Ex-cyborg Kevin Warwick on mixing man and machine

“The movie starts off with slides, but don’t worry, real video follows shortly. Make sure to catch Warwick describe the remote limb experiment (2:00), having his wife hooked up to his nerves (2:40), rodent brain cells in robots (~4:00), and how the human brain will transcend our current limits (~5:50).”
