MultiElectrode Array (MEA) quest
Finding/making affordable multielectrode arrays seem to be a hurdle we will need to overcome before we can start making true cybernetic devices. Currently the Utah array is selling for $4000 USD/each. The purpose of this thread is to discuss alternate ways to make an array with equal or greater specs to the Utah array.
I was thinking there could be some biological methods. Bacteria distributed into a fine electrode mold could possibly be hacked to produce a solid array made from the desired materials. Possibility?
I also found this: http://www.interestingengineering.com/living-power-cables/
Thought it was cool and it might possibly have some future applications.
Lets discuss ideas.

He also had his wife, Irena, have a couple of electrodes inserted into her arm, and they did an experiment where, every time Irena moved her hand, Kevin could feel it as a pulse. This is why it would be useful in nervous - nervous communication.
For more information, you can find videos about it by typing "Kevin Warwick Project Cyborg 2.0" into YouTube. For example, there's this video; a bit over-sensationalist, and it gets a few things factually wrong, but it's a decent enough introduction. It's also fun to read some of the comments by people who think that Warwick's working for the Illuminati, or that this stuff is the mark of the beast.
