Currently computer chip implants focus on repairing brain damage to help people with impairments function normally. In the future, those technologies may be applied to enhance performance on otherwise healthy people.
Scientist believe these improvements will include the ability to:
1. Hear a conversation from across a room, or in a crowded club.
2. Give you the ability to see in the dark, on par with the way nocturnal species see.
3. Give you sight that can zoom in on things that are far away through retinal prosthetics that can zoom in on objects.
4. Make you better at math and navigation (or other skills, depending on the need) through brain implants that stimulates specific areas of the brain responsible for these skills.
5. Speed up learning so you can master kung-fu in super short time spans.
6. Restore damaged memories.
7. Cure depression and control mood through future implants which will regulate the brain and make sure it keeps working the way it should, providing stimulation when necessary.
8. Enhance focus and energy, like stimulants without the drugs, without the jittery, speedy, up-all-night feelings — and the post-amphetamine crash.
9. Control machines with your mind, allowing for remote control of robots, computers, and more.
10. Search the web and translate languages.
