The biggest reason to never put anything like this in your brain is the idea that they could put ads in your brain.

Could?? No, not could. Will.

I mean, the high likelihood of developing an infection in your brain seems maybe a bit more concerning, but to each their own I guess.

Ads are kind of like brain infections if you think about it

Of course, I just meant more in the hypothetical 'this technology is safe for human use and is being widely adopted' stage.

Even if it was medically safe that's still your least concern when it comes to IoT devices and network security.
