    Monkeys Control a Robot Arm With Their Thoughts
    Two monkeys with tiny sensors in their brains have learned to control a prosthetic arm with only 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 Wednesday.
    The report, released online by the journal Nature, is the most striking demonstration to date of brain-machine interface technology, which scientists expect will eventually allow people with spinal cord injuries and other paralyzing conditions to gain more control over their lives. The findings suggest that brain-controlled prosthetics, while not yet practical, are at least technically within reach.


    someone needs to stop these monkeys
    and their enthralled human collaborators
    or we are all doomed

    I say let 'em go. Can't be any worse than things are already. Monkeys evolve. Humans devolve. That's the wave of the future.

    Leader of the hunt: I don't understand these animal psychologists. What is Dr. Zira trying to prove?
    Dr. Zaius: That man can be domesticated.
