Speaking of this bio-electronic fusion, I saw a documentary where biologists were able to tap into the electrical impulses on the optic nerve of a horseshoe crab. They were able to produce a crude image on a video monitor of what the horseshoe crab saw. It was crazy. Their vision is simple, it looks sort of like those early digital image effects from the 70s, like those novelty T-shirts with a photo represented as big blocky pixels.
