I remember in 2017 when Elon proposed the idea of Neourolink.
I thought it was great, and we're seeing people with the chip inserted who can now transmit their thoughts to a screen, without moving. They can chat, play games, browse social media.
In those years, I used to ask for the ability to save smells, like we save images. Those that transport us to a person, a place, a moment.
Smells, like music, revive our brains.
We've seen people with Alzheimer's not remember anything and then remember a song, or people recover from a stroke by hearing a song.
There's still progress to be made, but we're on the right track. !nb

*Neurolink
If brain waves can be detected with good resolution and accuracy, then it might be desirable to visit such a facility that can take a snapshot of one's brain activity for future reference. Maybe that data can then be used with a Neuralink or Neuralink-like microchip as if it was an external brain. Many downsides with this suggestion, such as mangled memories, but if the user becomes really demented then the upsides weigh more.
