Description
Neural modules are basically programs for a neural implant, or, rather, knowledge repositories. Their function is to give the user additional artificial memories containing useful knowledge or provide useful subroutines that can aid thinking. Language translation modules are an example of a heavily specialized neuromodule. One would think that neuro modules could give you total knowledge on the subject, "I know kung-fu" style, but in practice, there's a vast gulf between knowledge and experience. It's like a difference between somebody who just perfectly memorized the entire textbook on anatomy, versus a seasoned and experienced surgeon. Currently, it is impossible to create a neural module of an experience, since it is pretty much stored in neuron connections of the brain, which are more or less all completely unique for each person. Not to mention it represents years or decades of practice, and thus heavily intertwined with the personality, so many are skeptical it can be extracted at all even theoretically.
