Neuroprosthetics is a nice term, very acceptable. I have no objections
about this idea of yours. But personally I want to focus more on MU.
There's another problem with neuroprothetics: The hippocampus is
probably the only structure inside the brain that can be easily replaced.
I can't imagine the same thing being done for a piece of the temporal
lobe, say. Also the interfacing problems will be insurmountable, if I'm
correct.

It's a good idea to try to get some press coverage, which means we
need to present MU in a more acceptable way. Maybe we can maintain
2 separate web sites with one official and the other more "radical" and
speculative, and either attach a link or not.
