okay it's 2004
20 years ago, which would you have bet on being developed first: flying cars or cyborgs.....
Advent of Robotic Monkeys: If a monkey is hungry but has his arms pinned, there's not much he can do about it. Unless that monkey can control a nearby robotic arm with his brain. And that's exactly what the monkey in Andrew Schwartz's neurobiology lab at the University of Pittsburgh can do, feeding himself using a prosthetic arm controlled solely by his thoughts....
John Donoghue of Cyberkinetics has already extended this research to humans. He has implanted electrodes into the motor cortex of a quadriplegic, allowing the patient to move a computer cursor to access e-mail or use other applications. "The human phase of this has moved forward tremendously," said Donoghue. Cyberkinetics will continue its pilot study by expanding the trial to four more patients.
i guess i just thought flying cars would be easier for some reason.
