It's coming faster than you may imagine. No, not controlling your mind - that's pretty well been done by the vegetation system.
"Three years ago, we weren’t sure moving a more complex robotic arm to grasp and move objects using this brain-computer interface technology could even be achieved," researcher Bin He said.
"This is the first time in the world that people can operate a robotic arm to reach and grasp objects in a complex 3D environment using only their thoughts without a brain implant," lead researcher Bin He, a biomedical engineering professor at the University of Minnesota, said in a news release. "Just by imagining moving their arms, they were able to move the robotic arm."
Presently, it requires people to wear tin hats. That won't be the case for long. Welcome to the Brave New World.
