Monkey controls Robot Arm with Brain Power

Someone needs to make a diy version of this. I would totally drive my car using brain power. Or at least send it to this guy to add to his car.

“A monkey has a microchip in its brain which allows it to move a robotic arm as if it were its real arm.”

    For those more interested in this kind of work, John Donoghue has been one of the leaders in this research starting with the implantation of a 10×10 etched silicon array (sometimes known as the Utah array) into the primary motor cortex of monkeys and then several humans. The most popular of his patients if Matthew Nagle so there are a few articles on his success that can be searched for. An earlier wired news article is here:
