Brain Interfaces

The rat went on pressing the lever, but now the scientists gave the rat a drink of water when it simply produced the "press lever" command in its brain. After a while, the rat stopped bothering to lift its arm, and just thought about lifting it.

I've posted about this in the past, but Popular Science has a nice, detailed article about the recent advances in this field. Some of the highlights include the above-mentioned rat, telepathic fighter jets, thought-activated phones (which I have long predicted), and the nightmarish image of monkeys sitting motionless, thinking about robots while wires snake from their skulls. One day I will be an omniglot.
