Monkey brains control robot arms

Rhesus monkeys have been taught to control a robot arm using brain signals alone.


Even as you read this, andricongirl is weighing ethical objections to animal testing against the prospect of GIANT ROBOT ARMS!

I think we all have that dilemma at one point or another in our lives :)

Do I swap this brave adventurer's brains with that of a marmoset? Or do I find another way to show the fools who laughed me out of the Academy?

Decisions, decisions. Probably won't stop me from saying "GIANT ROBOT ARMS!" at random intervals throughout the day though. It's boring at work today :)
