I think you mean "waiting for it to exist"!

I know there are lab experiments, and some people have electrodes that 
intermittently fry parts of their brain because that's better than 
suffering from whatever disease they have, but I wouldn't say that we 
actually have neural interfaces yet.  We're getting closer all the time,
