A DARPA proposal for use neural impants....

"Imagine getting inside the mind of a shark: swimming silently through the
ocean, sensing faint electrical fields, homing in on the trace of a scent,
and navigating through the featureless depths for hour after hour. We may
soon be able to do just that via electrical probes in the shark's brain.
Engineers funded by the US military have created a neural implant designed
to enable a shark's brain signals to be manipulated remotely, controlling
the animal's movements, and perhaps even decoding what it is feeling...More
controversially, the Pentagon hopes to exploit sharks'natural ability to
glide quietly through the water."
