"Monkeys that can move a robot arm with thoughts alone have brought the merger of mind and machine one step closer. In experiments at Duke University, implants in the monkeys' brains picked up brain signals and sent them to a robotic arm, which carried out reaching and grasping movements on a computer screen driven only by the monkeys' thoughts. The achievement is a significant advance in the continuing effort to devise thought-controlled machines that could be a great benefit for people who are paralyzed, or have lost control over their physical movements..." link[^] and bypass ny times log in Later, JoeSox

Go Duke! <---signature---> Your kid gets into Duke. You pay the tuition. That tuition goes into my checking account. My money in my checking account goes into beer, porn, and other such fun. Thank you :)

"I don't question, our existence I just question, our modern needs" - Pearl Jam Garden www.joeswammi.com www.humanaiproject.orgWhile in Atlanta, Georgia, for college last spring (graduated in may!), there was an article in a local paper (Creative Loafing for you locals) about an Emory University professor who had put an implant into a person's brain who was, with practice, able to control a computer to a minimal degree. That is, he could control the mouse and write very basic things, like his name, in a text editor. While intriguing, it's also good to note that he was the biggest success out of a group of ~10 people. All these patients are "shut ins," that is, they have no control over any part of their body except their mind. The biggest hurdle the researchers found was re-training people to control the implants (obviously), but it would just completely exhaust them. In any case, it's kind of fun stuff to keep on. The future of implants and what-not is the size and ability to record signals. This professor is unique in that he was able to keep his patients alive after the implants were in there. Who knows, the future can only hold smaller, more efficient, sensors. D Daniel Larsen, Professional Casanova Blood, Sweat, Toil and Tears
