[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 76491450, member: 241055"] The ADS in the first article damages by surface heating at millimetre frequencies - it could inflict more serious damage, but there's no indication of lethality (that article also says it won't damage electronics). The second article suggests that shielding would protect electronics. I would expect practical brain implants to be shielded - not least from currents induced by brain scanners. I said it was well-insulated, not that it was impermeable. Brain scanners use extremely intense fields and extremely sensitive detectors. But consider that one of the problems with ECGs is that only bulk brain activity can be detected via scalp electrodes and deep brain activity may not be detectable at all. I broadly agree. I think we can interface with the brain without necessarily implanting chips. [/QUOTE]
