Hello Warren, 
     In order for a machine to overwrite neural signals and create a mental    
illusion for the user , it is necessary to read the state of the neural 
signals at the time. In addition, it will be necessary to know how to interpret
the state of the neural signals. 
     Also, overwriting neural signals in someones mind can lead to technology  
which will allow computer programmers to plant suggestions in a users mind by 
overriding specific neural signals. The direction of this research if further 
abused could lead to such things as mind control...
