Bionic Technology
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/09/21/vbs.cyborg/
I found this article and video about a professor from The University of Reading named Kevin Warwick. His research involves implanting programmed chips with wireless signalling into his arm, attached to his neurons. This chip then sends signlas to controls that will effectively control whatever you program it to control. His first operation was a single function chip, but as he got further into his research he got into multi-function operation systems. This article and video caught my eye because this shows that bionics and cyborgs are possible and even using this technology to perform long distance surgeries is an outcome that is very plausible. This is a perfect mix of biology and engineering which is right up a BMEN majors ally.
