|  Thoughts Used to Move Computer Cursor
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/arti...3/202815.shtml Quote:
The nerve system specialists from Brown University in Providence, R.I., implanted a tiny array of electrodes in three Rhesus monkeys to record, review and reconstitute the cerebral activity that controls hand movement. The animals responded by tailing a target around a computer screen with a cursor guided solely by their thoughts.

I thought nobody was ever going to make any remarks about this!
I wish I could use this kind of technology myself as my wrists hurt so much from to much mousing. Also, I think I could have a huge increase in speed, imagine being able to type this way. | |

Willy, I'm not sure if you are confessing your IQ, or bragging about your typing skill!  | |

This kind of technology is already in use with "bionic" limbs which use muscle stimulation signals from nerves to move artificial hands/ legs via motors. This is just an extra refinement of the same principle.
I for one wouldn't be too keen to be the first one fitted with the probe that would necesary to make this work, though  | |
