Subject: [MURG] Magnetically controlled probe

Hi all - Happy Holidays from San Francisco!

Today I read that there is a probe which can be guided through small blood vessels in a persons brain by using a series of controlled magnets around the persons head.  This is reminiscent of the nano-probe
idea I've heard of.  A small probe with sensors travels through the brain, gathering information.  This is one idea for Mind Uploading.  The fact that doctors can already perform surgery on a human this way
(either to do a biopsy or to destroy cancerous tissue) makes me think that creating a smaller probe with more sophisticated sensors may not be that far off.
 

Best Wishes,
