That is so fricking awesome, though I think its too much to hope that game companies will start using this technology in the immediate future.

Sounds like its pretty hard to control. At most it will be an added gimmick for a wii game.

I dunno aesir, I read another article awhile back when they were testing that monkey with the robot arm--at first it was extremely hard, but gradually they discovered that the monkey's brain was developing adeptness with the tool, like a muscle would grow.

I can't remember if this is right or not, but I THOUGHT I read that the monkey even learned to differentiate between signals that moved the object and the signals that the 'object moving' was initially listening in on.
...meaning if moving a robot arm was tied to the 'moving your own arm' signal, the brain was learning how to move each independently--basically splitting the signal and refining each.

Robotic Elderly and Handicapped will take over the world!

I think this would be excellent for helping people learn to concentrate. I really see this as a way to improve overall mental function. It will give people the tools they need to control their own minds, and then apply it to the external and internal world.
