Two monkeys with brain implants have steered wheelchairs using only their minds, researchers said Thursday, in another step forward for a field seeking to mobilize people with paralysis.

People have powered robotic arms with thought alone, and have controlled robotic exosketons using electrodes. And monkeys have used thought power to move objects on a computer screen. But this experiment, if it pans out for humans, would allow someone completely paralyzed to operate a wheelchair.

And the brain implants that made the mind-to-computer interface possible have lasted in the monkeys for seven years.

God damn you all to hell

Just imagine - one day there will be mind controlled drones and mind controlled animals and mind controlled humans...

This is one way communication, the brain sending signals to something.

If a computer could send a signal to the brain however...
