In a ground-breaking 5 year experiment, scientists hook up a robotic arm controlled by a computer game to a monkey's brain. In training the monkey to move the arm by 'playing' the game with a joystick. Researchers wanted to learn more about the output of the brain and the individual brain-cell signals. However the monkey was about to do something that would make history and change the lives of those involved. The clip is taken from a fascinating BBC Horizon show called Human2.0.

holey fuker i watched a vid abt this stuff. ppl need to be wise to wots goin on , not to be manipulated by fraudulence. knowledge is power

you know that anything like this is very dangerous, what's next, cyborg war machines, you know it, but the benefits are great, new age prosthetic arms, you know that if this is implementedin one way it can be reversed, you can use thecomputer to control the human's conciousness with an implant, look up rfid chips, seriously

Even better: watch?v=kl43TEFb91A A video of a HUMAN controlling a little robot through the use of, of course, non-invasive surface electrodes.

Well you do realize that the entire point of this experiment was so that it CAN be used on humans. Also, brain waves can be monitored to some extent by non-invasive surface electrodes. There are people out there right now playing video games with their brain. Look up OCZ's Neural Impulse Actuator.

you volunteering ?

they have done limited things similar to humans (with a wheelchair)

they should hook it up to a humans brain

I agree. Technophobia should be limited to grandparents who grew up in the 60s. This is the future. We either embrace it or we will stagnate. This man's findings are truly revolutionary and are simply amazing. The benefits this could have on society as a whole are mind-boggling.

Research on the brain and how to interface it with machines is vital. We are closer to the singularity than ever before, and we cannot let mere technophobia get in the way. the future of our species, and the future of our knowledge - the two things which together give us purpose - depend on the evolution of the human species. It is the only way to break the cycle of destruction which limits us.

Boo-fucking-Hoo. So, a little dystopia is a worthy price for some robot legs. But, seriously - if such mind changing technology becomes available, it must be kept out of the hands of those who would use it to control others fro their own well being. It would have to have safeguards, and could be incredibly dangerous, but the possible positive consequences could change everything - it could break the cycle which has plagued our species throughout its existence.
