• Question: do you think it will be possible in the future to put information straight into the brain, like putting a cd into a computer?

      Ooh, good question.
      I think if this ever will happen, we’re a long way off! At the moment we still have hardly any understanding of how the brain works, even though we’re learning more about it every day.

      It would be fun if we could have a USB port-type thing though wouldn’t it? Where would you put it on your head – I reckon behind the ear would be a good place!
