Not a neurologist, but my hunch is that even if we had perfectly working brain implants, this would be impossible the way they do in the movie - or at least would require lifelong monitoring of your brain structure before it could be done (which, arguably, would be feasible for people spending their life in a tub like in the movies - but infeasible for us)

As a start, what "data format" would that downloadable knowledge be represented in? It would have to be interpretable by your brain and able to reference knowledge and other concepts you already know about - not just explicit knowledge, but also motor memories, etc. Unfortunately, all this stuff depends heavily on the experiences and learnings you personally have made until this point - so this is probably completely unique for every brain.

I'm not a neurologist too but what if you can do it without brain implants? Something like transmitting data in the form of waves to brain.

What kind of waves would that be? You'd need something to resonate with specific neurons in any case.

[mrkramer]

Idk but do you need brain implants or somehow it would be possible to do it without them?

Good question...
