CNN.com - Mind over video game - June 15, 2004

"Simply by thinking the word 'move', the volunteers played the simple video game, the researchers reported."

"It took six minutes of training and they all achieved control in less than 24 minutes," Leuthardt said.

"After a brief training session, the patients could play the game by using signals that come off the surface of the brain," added Moran. "They achieved between 74 and 100 percent accuracy, with one patient hitting 33 out of 33 targets correctly in a row."

Tick...tock...clip...clop. Those sounds are the everpresent future that seems to continually encroach upon your yesterday without people even realizing this. Can you believe that right now there are human beings controlling computers solely through the use of wires plugged into their skull ::side note:: yes, it is in a very rudimentary stage, ie, huge amounts of wires and the fact that the skull is open and they are hardwired...but with first shrinking of silicon smaller and smaller in size... .65nm is small man...secondly with advancement of wireless communication and lastly with nanotechnology, I can so very easily see someone getting this permanently installed (it will self install as well...as nanobots will do this on their on inside of your skull) in their skull as simply as getting an ear pierced. Walk into your apartment and just think light and they turn on. Would be a great fucking prank in the house...just walk by constantly flipping everything on and off as fast as your can... :-) IT IS HERE!!! So sayeth the future.
