don't jump the gun.
afai know
besides animals, cutting edge tech has been with brain damaged patients. Last time i looked 5yrs ago one team's second stage of development had a damaged guy on the east coast communicating with a guy on the west coast through computers and a screen. Those guys had their brains literally wired. The bottleneck was limited data transfer.What they are doing is switching on/off neurons and groups of neurons.
development $ is probably not an issue as a new brain damaged patient happens routinely in the US. Each patients medical bills are huge for his lifetime.
Worst case scared brain tissue does not heal. Mild brain damage can be dealt with relatively easy. Mid way damage may be functional, but not guaranteed.
once implanting chips in damaged people is common place the door is open.
