Apparently a friend of mine used to have a job where he wrote video games for monkeys.
DMLou: believe it or not, I used to have a job writing video games for monkeys
Wonderland: bwuh?
Gayo: Were they any good at them?
DMLou: I'm serious! Back in college!
DMLou: They were very simple games -- connect the moving dots sorts of things.
Wonderland: wow
DMLou: It was for my college's neuroscience department. While the monkeys played the games, they had brain probes stuck in them that would monitor their brain activity. They would then replay the logs of the brain activity to make a robot arm move just like the monkey's arm
