As in neural interfaces. I am aware that the term comes from William
Gibson's 1994 book _Neuromancer_, and that it is an interface with brain
and computer, but I was querying about more current interpretations or
references (not in books SF books, but in scientific/medical application.)
I got a phone call from a San Francisco based national radio program
"Beyond Computers" for MSNBC and a producer there wanted information on
this term. I told her the basic info, but I wanted to do a query on the
Extropians list.
