Is it possible to remove a human brain and attach it to machinery that lets it control that machinery?

Mike, if you could ever find a way to do this...the only brains I would have to contribute to this project would be from people I really disliked.

I certainly wouldn't want them in control of ANYTHING. sorry. can't help.

C S Lewis suggested this in the last book of his trilogy in 1945

Of course. It will kill the brain and do nothing for the machinery than make it gooey, but sure, it's doable.

Science is getting closer, but the biggest draw back is that organic brains are inferior to digital brains, so the only point seems to be expanding human life.

Digital brains don't exist yet.

absolutely

most kids today are detached corporeally
as they taptaptap into their hands...

no need to excise the actual brain
and place it into a less efficient mechanical device
in order to run other machines...

no need to go all 1950's sci-fi on us with this one, mikey

unless you got pics of the black site where they actually spend tax dollars to do this?

Rmember at the end of robocop 2 where they removed the villian's brain and put it into a robot?

That's kind of what I'm trying to get at, only I don't think that we will ever install human brains into hulking 20-foot-tall mechanical killing machines.
