    Brain implant: mind control of tech....wired & wireless

    "We have the technology....."

    Scientists in North Carolina (Duke University) have built a brain implant that lets monkeys control a robotic arm with their thoughts, marking the first time that mental intentions have been harnessed to move a mechanical object.

      Was it the firs time?

      I heard about French artist who uses robotic arm and I've seen a documentary on the subject with a few examples.

                      I believe those types of prostheses use a device that triggers off mucscular contractons in the shoulder and is not directly connected to the central nervous system.

                              DARPA's EHPA program (Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation) has been running for a few years, so why not go for broke?

                              Projects will lead to self-powered, controlled, and wearable exoskeletal devices and/or machines and demonstrations of their utility in military applications.

                              Inclusion of exoskeleton technology into land-based operations could potentially increase the capabilities of the ground-based warfighter and radically alter the current military doctrine.

                              This technology will extend the mission payload and/or mission range of the soldier and increase the lethality and survivability of ground troops for short-range missions and special operations.
