Mind control might not be a thing of the future, because researchers were able to achieve this with two monkeys! This news is both incredible, and yet a bit terrifying. Anthony discusses what possible uses this technology could have in humans.

"Harking back to the 3D flick Avatar (in which a man is able to fluidly control an alien body using mind control), scientists from Harvard Medical School inserted a chip capable of measuring up to 100 neurons into the brain of a "master" monkey, and 36 electrodes in the spinal cord of another "puppet" monkey."

A Cortical-Spinal Prosthesis For Targeted Limb Movement In Paralysed Primate Avatars

"Motor paralysis is among the most disabling aspects of injury to the central nervous system. Here we develop and test a target-based cortical--spinal neural prosthesis that employs neural activity recorded from premotor neurons to control limb movements in functionally paralysed primate avatars."

Monkeys Think, Moving Artificial Arm as Own

"Two monkeys with tiny sensors in their brains have learned to control a mechanical arm with just their thoughts, using it to reach for and grab food and even to adjust for the size and stickiness of morsels when necessary, scientists reported on Wednesday."

"Arm movement is well represented in populations of neurons recorded from the motor cortex."

"We are interested in how motor intentions-- the way we want to act on our surroundings -- are represented in the firing patterns of individual cortical neurons, as well as in the patterns of neural activity within cortical populations."

Reach and grasp by people with tetraplegia using a neurally controlled robotic arm

"Paralysis following spinal cord injury, brainstem stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other disorders can disconnect the brain from the body, eliminating the ability to perform volitional movements."

"A new study in Nature reports that two people with tetraplegia were able to reach for and grasp objects in three-dimensional space using robotic arms that they controlled directly with brain activity."
