BCI: Get used to the acronym

BCI, or brain-computer interfaces, are here to stay. Connecting neural tissue or direct brain feedback to digital circuits is a reality, and the technology for making such devices cheaper and cooler is well underway.

But BCI? Do we really need to call it that? Can't we find a better term for this technology, like "Bluetooth" did for short-range wireless appliance interfaces? How about "Wetlink" devices, or say, "Neurolink" devices, or even something as stupid as "Panther" would be better than BCI. Please get a clue science people.

Check the link for more on how these devices are being explored and used throughout the world, including tasty tidbits like China leading the way on advanced algorithm development for EEG-based systems. Woohoo!
