Scientists have successfully implanted chips in monkeys brains which connect to a bionic arm.
When the monkey thinks about moving their arm, the bionic arm moves with amazing
realism to it's organic counterpart.

The area of the brain that controls hand and foot movement was located at the top of the brain.
A woman underwent Craniotomy. Two sensors were placed in a woman's head. The sensors were connected through a wire to a motorized bionic arm. They are showing footage of the woman shaking hands with Scott Pelley.. She just fist bumped him! :) She described the action as automatic, just like she used to move her human arm.


Pretty amazing nexus. I wonder how soon until cybernetic eyes are commercially available.
 
Dr. Octopus is no longer a fairytale!

It sounds pretty cool. Maybe they can even replace real limbs?
