"With electrodes implanted directly on their brains, two Madison patients were able to control a computer cursor and play a basic video game just by thinking about it."
Cool but freaky.
That should solve Mishra mouse problem

Aesir... they can already do that... I'm pretty sure they've had people who have lost an arm be able to control a replacement robotic arm with fingers and stuff...
I wonder how long it will be before they invent a controlling device for the mouse pointer - so you can just thing about where you want it to go and it will do it... speed up modelling immensely, plus your aim would be pretty much perfect in FPS games, and you could control RTS games really well
Then again, if you got distracted while operating it, your mouse pointer might end up clicking a hundred times on random points on the screen as your brainwaves get interpreted wrongly...

We can have some seriously cool porn games in the future, and to think with technology like this both of your hands will be free...
