Monkeys show amazing learning curve with thought-controlled prosthetics

Monkeys with small (as in a mm or so wide) grid implanted just beneath their skulls have shown themselves able to control a mechanical arm with their thoughts.

This is an NYT writeup of an article originally published in Nature. Scientists first taught the monkeys how to control a mechanical arm with a joystick, then implanted a small grid, only a mm or so wide, onto the motor centers of their brains. The monkeys' own arms were then gently restrained. The scientists used a computer to move the arm at first. The article uses the expression, "teaching with biofeedback

Mind-reading with a brain scan

sumsung submitted, created time 10 months 2 days (www.nature.com)

Scientists have developed a way of "decoding" someone’s brain activity to determine what they are looking at. “The problem is analogous to the classic ‘pick a card, any card’ magic trick,” says Jack Gallant, a neuroscientist at the University of California in Berkeley, who led the study. But while a magician uses a ploy to pretend to "read the mind" of the subject staring at a card, now researchers can do it for real using brain-scanning instruments.
