Claim 0:
1. A system for interacting with living tissue comprising:
a device adapted to be attached to a body of a person or animal, adapted to transcribe signals from the living tissue, and adapted to transmit the transcribed signals, the device comprising a plurality of single wall nanotube carbon fibers, each single wall nanotube carbon fiber adapted to receive electrical signals from the living tissue, wherein at least some of the single wall nanotube carbon fibers are adapted to receive electrical signals from pyramidal layers II to VI of a brain cortex region, a processor adapted to receive the electrical signals and to process the electrical signals to form digital data representing the signals, and a transmitter adapted to transmit the digital data representing the signals wherein the device further comprises a receiver adapted to receive digital data representing signals to be applied to the living tissue and output control signals representing the signals to be applied to the living tissue, a plurality of light sources adapted to receive the control signals and output optical signals representing the control signals, and a plurality of optical fibers adapted to apply the optical signals to the living tissue, wherein the optical fibers are coated with single walled carbon nanotubes which adapt the optical fibers to receive electrical signals from the living tissue, wherein at least some of the optical fibers are adapted to receive electrical signals from pyramidal layers II to VI of a brain cortex region;
a processing device adapted to receive the transcribed signals, process the transcribed signals, and transmit the processed transcribed signals; and
a computer system adapted to receive the processed transcribed signals, store and further process the processed transcribed signals, and store other data related to the person or animal.
