Hi all,
This is a news story on a blind man who has been given very limited vision
by a tiny camera wired directly into his brain.

I though it may be of a "we are borg" type interest ;-)
Actually the picture of the man's head with the camera attached to his
glasses and a bunch of wires going into his brain reminds me of the the
movie The Matrix where people are plugged in directly to computer generated
stimuli via a socket in the back of the head.
Speaking of The Matrix maybe you've read the following article:

"Yes, The Matrix is now the focus of an introductory philosophy class at the
University of Washington in Seattle. "
cheers,
Sol.
