That's pretty incredible. Pretty soon, people who have lost their limbs can use mind-controlled mechanical ones while they wait for new limbs to regenerate.
-
I would love to be able to control all of my electronic gadgets with brainpower!
-
Me too. Like my TV. Or my keyboard. I'm ready for the day that you can think straight into your computer.

Go Go Gadget Cell Phone!

very incredible but I need to voice one of my many pet peeves. Chimps are not monkies. They are part of the Great Ape family. wiki this for more info..common mistake but big difference.

this is awesome.

I love how any story can be made extra-interesting by including a monkey.
Bigger picture though, this is petrifying. Give it about ten years and chimps will be controlling the guns in this link with their minds and scything down crowds of people whilst screaming "Ooh ooh aah aah! Stop calling us monkeys!"
They'll be talking by then too. The chimps, not the monkeys.
-
Imagine their confusion when the robotic arm is taken away and replaced by a tire on a rope...

controlling everything straight through your mind? id imagine thats a whole new kind of head ache we'd need to get used to...
-
crabbable, the day that i can think my thoughts onto current instead of typing them will be oh such a happy day, and a damn lazy one as well!

Pretty amazing... Although I have to say: I don't think we should be sticking electronics into chimps heads regardless of how amazing the results are.

haha..!

I'm not making fun of you at all - I'm joking with you, not at your expense. Monkeys put me in a playful mood. It's incredible how they really do make any story seem jovial.
-
I for one am freaked out. We're two experiments away from a 'planet of the apes' situation.
-
A similar experiment was done by Miguel Nicolelis a few years ago... show in the excellent Horizon documentary "Human 2.0".

Doesn't this already exist for people? Like for people who have lost their hands/arms etc?

It's great that this technology gives a second chance to paralyzed humans, but I think that they should vigilantly monitor the rest of the Chimp's life to record any negative effects (any besides having metal rammed in his skull, of course).
