Hi, Everyone.

I just found this on CNET.  It's a leap forward from the other kinds of things I've seen done with neural implants (e.g., moving a cursor on a screen).  If they can work the kinks out, this brings us one step closer to giving amputees fully articulated limbs. And in the even longer term, it could help people with paralysis.  :cool:

I didn't realize this, but Dean Kamen's "Luke arm" can also do this.  It's apparently connected to nerve endings in the amputee's arm.  ::thumbs::
