Nitinol implants, Andrew Kramer

[Lost Sheep]

New materials might offer pretty interesting solutions for the future. There are metals that can switch between states by simply having electrical current ran through them.
This, combined with something like Neuralink might allow "spontaneous" erection, controlled by the brain...

And these types of implants might be a good solution for some pathologies that current implants don't "service" well.

I wonder if, during a really intense sexual session, if I could concentrate hard enough to continually keep my brain on the Neuralink "go" button?

[Hunchback]

Doubt it, if anything, it'll be exactly like the original, healthy, brain activity. AFAIK, Neuralink and other similar projects are not something -you- control, they simply transmit the neurological signals created in the brain to the appropriate destination, to circumvent spinal cord injury or other reasons of interrupted proper activity.

HI RICHARD....it has been years for both of us here on franktalk.

I remember you well since we were both implanted around the same time.

There was once a funny discussion about you saying :

"hey, whatever happend to richardthefrog, DID HE CROAK ?"

(I think I wrote in defending you stating that you were too busy bedding super models)

thrilled you are back, and as someone with years of experience...please tell write a 4 year report in a seperate thread....the long term followup reports are super valuable to all the newbies.

By the way, with regards to the nitinol implant, I remember a hip replacement surgeon who would give the following advice to his hip replacement patients who asked about the latest and greatest materials for hip replacement.

"when it comes to scuba diving equipment and parachute brands, it is in your best interest to go with a brand that is tried and true with many years of field testing and experience"

so, when it comes to a bionic device that is implanted into humans; probably best to stay with a very tested and fully vetted device

Just letting you know that I've read this and I'll write a "4 year report" when I have time.
