Only if you get a couple of millions of these things permanently
inside your cranium, wired to some massive adaptive DSP. Plus, some
heavy biofeedback training, plus some extra induced neuroplasticity.

And, yeah, massive neurosurgery should have about the same status as
filling a dental cavity.

So right now it's only nifty if you're an in vitro neuroscientist with
a cushy budget.
