I stumbled across an article in the New York Times today which described an experiment conducted by scientists on monkeys. Apparently, they have trained or conditioned the animals through a tiny sensor in their brain to control a prosthetic arm with their mind. While it is in a controlled environment, a place we as humans rarely find ourselves, it has connected the brain with machines in a new and fascinating manner.
I can't help but think about what this could mean.
