How advanced, or what types of advancement, would it take to convince you to get a cybernetic brain implant in the future?

-Substantially improves a major disability (blindness, paralysis, brain damage, etc)

-Boosts sensory abilities beyond normal (eyesight, hearing, etc).

-Boosts IQ or some other meaningful metric of intelligence and computation, thereby increasing your competitiveness in multiple fields. Becomes basically necessary for some fields due to many others doing it.

-Lets you enter VR with all five senses in a way that feels like 80-90% realistic but can be any environment/context. People make increasingly awe-inspiring virtual experiences/worlds, only accessible this way.

-Substantially increases the bandwidth with which you can interface with computers. Like, lets you download a ton of info quickly.

1 and 4 , separately or together. Also 2 is very tempting but I am slightly scared, i'd only agree if a boost of sensory abilities will go with a boost in brain capacity to process input information received by senses. I am not tempted by IQ boosts bc humans' problem is not low IQ, ability to boost IQ should be only possible with the boost in EI or whatever you call the essence of "humanness" . Tbh my priority would be to remain human , so if any enhancements means that I may become a non-human entity , I'd pass. I think the most secure enhancement from this point of view is only 1 option.
