Robotic arm controlled by thought.

A bit more practical than the recent implants to control a mouse cursor by thought.

Heh, thats pretty cool. I wonder how long it will take them to make a fully functional life like arm.

Would be cool if they made that for a penis...

Boner up ! Boner Down ! Boner up ! Boner Down ! Boner up ! Boner Down !

Amazing...

I think a cursor controller would be pretty cool if it actually worked. I'd think it would be pretty buggy though.

I bet you wish they made a thought controlled dildo that you could shove up your ass without even moving, because everything takes too much fucking effort for you.

What the hell is your problem today?

So where exactly was the arm located? Since the monkey still had it's own two. Did it just sit on the ground infront of the monkey or did they attach the arm to it?

They've had completely implanted (completely inside the skull) cursor control implants that reported work pretty good for months now. Note, however, that this experiment was probably performed open-brained.

Hehe, funny

Would it work in a way that when you think about a spot for the cursor to move to, it moves there? Think how much you would own in FPS games .

I'm under the impression that it works like a joystick controlled cursor, except in your head.
