Presentation of the Brain–Mind Interface • 41
This environment, for instance, includes the influences that may arise if the
mind is fused with cyberspace through a direct neuronal interface appliance.
Of course, such interfaces are relatively unsophisticated at present, but they
will be considered in the following chapter in order to examine how informa-
tion may be directly obtained and provided to the brain.
