Until I clarify that it can't be the brain-contained physical manifestation of thought, but the thought itself.

But its never the thought itself. With Ki its the thought that translates into a emanation of energy from your body which then causes the effect. As I understand it you can't just change external Ki or Qi it has to interact with your own. It just so happens that its possible to do that over extreme distances almost instantly.

Also, for some more basic functions you don't even need the chip. Brainball is a really nifty example of this. It picks up ambient brainwaves you give off anyway and translates them into movement. Its a great way to have fun and mastering the games requires you to master an ability to become, and stay, relaxed very quickly.
