As you may recall, scientists at Duke have figured out a way to wire robot arms directly into a monkey’s brain, and that the monkey can then use the arm quite effectively.
There’s an update: the monkeys seem to view the arm as a part of their own body.
That’s wild.
Expect some absolutely amazing body-enhancement devices faster than you’d think but slower than you’d hope.
It made me think for a second: if I could directly wire control of any technological device into my brain what would I choose?
Assuming I was limited to one, I guess I’d pick a multipurpose wireless I/O device. Like a bluetooth controller but with way better security.
That would rock.
