Electricity as interface.
"Electricity has another special value. We now know that the neural signals that control the body, carry sensory information, and are related to thought itself, consist of electrical impulses sent from nerve cell to nerve cell. This is not a purely electrical phenomenon because the impulses are produced and passed on by chemical means, but neural activity has a strong electrical component, which is why it is possible to create physical interfaces between a living nervous system and electronic devices." From Digital People; form bionic humans to androids, Sidney Perkowitz. p.63.
