And exceeding limits. The lack of connection between physical brain material and storage of particular sorts of memory, especially temporal sequences.

\n\n Data encryption and uploading \n\n

\u201cLight therapy\u201d and affecting brain states. Fuzzy encryption keys for biometrics. Brute force attacks.

\n\n Lo-teks \n\n
