Talk:Brain implant

message: I have read a lot of stories about people that actually believe that they have such an implant (although they have not of course) and are being controlled by other people. But what they really are experiencing is a form of Paranoid Schizophrenia. If anyone have more insight into this topic it might be worth mentioning in this context.
Re: I have interesting insight into this with online research to back it up. Contact me by email from skewsme.com if you want to write it.
*"Paranoid Schizophrenia" no longer exists (if it ever existed), as it has been removed from the DSM. "Paranoid schizophrenia is defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, but it was dropped from the 5th Edition."--Mark v1.0 (talk) 18:04, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

message: Please cite relevant sources for the supposed "details" of the CIA's implantation of brain implants. Making unsubstantiated claims and then making a snide comment that "editors" should check with someone in the field before deleting them is not sufficient. Ha-reed 02:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

If so, could you say more clearly what material is copied and where it came from?  Was it you who put it there?  Regards, Looie496 (talk) 01:21, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Sabotage

message: I think there is some overlap between these two articles.  It might be useful if we define the scope of these two articles more clearly and move around some of the information.  It is my opinion, and correct me here if I am wrong, that a brain-computer interface is about establishing a communication interface (incoming, outgoing or both) while a brain implant refers to more to a specific type of technology that is inserted into the brain (be it communicating or not, for example, it could be a specific piece of biological tissue that is inserted such as fetal tissue to treat a degenerative disease.)  If this distinction is accepted then we could rearrange both articles in this fashion.  --Ben Houston 02:21, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Please note: there is overlap between [[Brain-computer interface]] and [[Brain implant]] articles

message: Hi, I've attempted to clarify the difference between brain implants and BCI (I'd say brain implants are a subset of BCI research). I've also repaired some broken links and attempted to improve the material concerning Jose Delgado after reading a well-researched Scientific American article on the topic. I also wonder that there's too much focus on the CIA's 'contribution' to the brain implants and neuro-prosthetics pages, especially in light of recent advances that have been carried out for therapeutic reasons. Thanks, Saganaki-.Ello Ello, 6 September 2006.
I would like to completely agree and further suggest that "Brain Implant" be renamed "Brain Implant Conspiracy" due to the nearly complete dependence on third, forth, and above sources, lack of substantiating _scientific_ documentation in peer reviewed journals aside from those citing that implanting something in the brain is possible, and hearsay. As a researcher in this field, I can say that any article on the the field that has a 2 paragraph "History" section, all on one researcher I might add, and 7 paragraphs on their role in fiction should be simply disregarded. The fact that the External Links go directly to a site filled with black helicopters, support forums for victims of "forced implants", and other conspiracy topics like the Kennedy assassination, etc., should be better noted and clearly shows that the topic is not intended to report of scientific research, not related to therapeutics, and not use, advances, peer reviewed journal articles, or any other substantive content related to the field. This is nearly all fiction and conspiracy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.59.236 (talk) 15:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarifications, fixed broken links, improved material on Jose Delgado, too much focus on the CIA 

message: I suggest we merge this page with the brain computer interface (BCI) page because brain implants are a subset of this research. Brain implants and non-invasive imaging/EEG type techniques seem to be the two main thrusts of BCI research so there's plenty of scope for duplication between this and the BCI page. The BCI page also has a far larger amount of up-to-date content although I'd say there's scope to make the language more user friendly and improve the formatting. There's also plenty of material in this page that's of dubious provenance. Thanks, Saganaki-. Ello Ello, 6 September 2006.
Whereas I agree that some brain implants are parts of brain-computer interfaces, not all are. Deep brain stimulation probes, for one example, have been implanted in 10s of thousands of people, making them more common than all BCI's combined, yet are not a BCI. Also, the brain-implant page focuses more on the interface between the brain and the implant itself. This is a problem that is largely disjoint from the other problems that need to be solved in brain-computer interfaces. I do not agree that merging pages provides a solution. A short summary paragraph on the BCI page can include a link over to the brain implant page for more detail on the implants themselves, rather than the tasks they attempt to solve.  --Animalresearcher (talk) 20:26, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Digital Media and Information in Society

message: I am considering contributing to this category by enhancing its reference content. In this regard, I believe that the video game "Cyberpunk 2077" and the associated show "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" offer a compelling illustration of the potential appearance and capabilities of future brain implants. Notably, both of these works depict brain implants that are situated within the neck or connected to the spinal column rather than directly interfacing with the brain itself, thereby mitigating potential damage.
It is essential to acknowledge that the type of brain implants featured in these examples diverges from the specific focus of this Wikipedia article. Consequently, I am open to feedback and discussion regarding whether these references are suitable for inclusion in this context. Your input is highly valued, and if it is determined that these references are not a good fit for the topic of brain implants, I will refrain from adding them. Your insights and suggestions are appreciated. ConnorB2005 (talk) 14:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
