Neuroscience Research

Submitted by brain (guest) on Sun, 10/16/2011 - 9:04pm.

Does anyone know much about brain and machine interfaces? I've been reading more and more recently about people hooking up the brains of monkeys and humans to computers and allowing them to control various things like robotic arms and cursors on a screen. They seem to use information from the individual neurons to decode what the person/monkey wants to do. I'm wondering how far this type of technology will progress in the next few years. Will we soon see supersoldiers who can control extra arms and weapons with their thoughts?
