I'm sure you have all heard about monkey's using their brains to control robotic arms. Ok, probably not. But it's true! They have gotten to the point medically where they can actually hook a primates brain up to a machine and control a robotic limb with the waves emitted from the monkeys brain. This could have some great practical uses in human beings pelegic (sp?) conditions...but it will probably not become practical for a decade or more cause right now you would have to carry a huge computer system on your back to use your robotic arms, and that is just not acceptable!
