Claim 11:
12. A computer program product for controlling interaction with living tissue, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor, to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
receiving neural signals at a device attached to a body of a person or animal, the signals received from the living tissue using a plurality of single wall nanotube carbon fibers coupled to the device attached to the body of the person, the plurality of carbon fibers in contact with the living tissue, 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;
processing the received signals by the device;
transmitting the processed signals;
receiving, at the device, digital data representing signals to be applied to the living tissue and outputting control signals representing the signals to be applied to the living tissue to a plurality of light sources at the implanted device;
receiving, at the plurality of light sources, the control signals and outputting optical signals representing the control signals to a plurality of optical fibers at the device; and
applying the optical signals to the living tissue with a plurality of optical fibers, wherein the optical fibers are coated with single walled carbon nanotubes which adapt the optical fibers to receive electrical signals from the brain 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.
