The Army's Remote-Controlled Beetle: The insect's flight path can be wirelessly controlled via a neural implant.

Brain Structure Assists In Immune Response: For the first time, a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have imaged in real time the body’s immune response to a parasitic infection in the brain.

Working Artificial Nerve Networks Under Development: Scientists have already hooked brains directly to computers by means of metal electrodes, in the hope of both measuring what goes on inside the brain and eventually healing conditions such as blindness or epilepsy. In the future, the interface between brain and artificial system might be based on nerve cells grown for that purpose.

This one is kinda out there just be open minded when reading this!

If the mind is stored as information/data inside a computer than it would be possible for humans to travel close to the speed of light. This is because data can travel much faster than matter and furthermore less energy would be required to achieve it. This would enable humans to travel to distant stars as long as there is a computer at the destination, which can grab and decode the data that it receives. The mind would stay dormant and once the information has reached the source the brain can be emulated. The trip would feel only a fraction of a second instead of light-years.


"When two particles are quantum mechanically 'entangled' with each other, measuring the properties of one will instantly tell you something about the other. In other words, quantum theory allows two particles to organize themselves at apparently faster-than-light speeds... they must have done so at least 100,000 times faster than the speed of light" Full Story

If the particles are separated and one is to move up or down the other would also move. The up and down motion could be used as a computer language of 1's an 0's to transfer data, therefore making it possible to travel faster than the speed of light.
