Mind power could be used to control artifical limbs, scientists believe.
Tests on humans show a link between a pattern of brain signals and certain limb movements, a team at Duke University, North Carolina found.

Previous research has shown monkeys can move a cursor on a computer screen using thought-waves alone.

However, implants of microchips into the brain of paralysed patients would be necessary to allow them to control a robot arm or computer.

Professor Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University led the latest research, which he said could lead to treatment for people with paralysis.

i saw aomething on this once.

I think it is cool that they are figuring out how to make artificial limbs. They are no where near close though.
