Monkeys controlling robotic arms with their brains.

People hopefully to follow soon. Singularity just around the corner.

It is pretty cool, although I cannot find an objective commentry as to the level of sophistication of the control. Cyborg Kev does happen to have a propensity for doing one small cool thing then suddenly sparking off about his visions of the future where AI will take over the world Terminator/Matrix style. He's also a huge ego freak that _does_ take grants and funds away from serious scientists by his hunger for the media limelight and his involvement in scientifically dubious experiments with wild claims.

He is not what most of the AI community regard as a good scientist and it's not just jealousy.

The other thing that bothers me about Warwick is his utter, total refusal to engage in ethical discussions. And also, in his "woo! I'm a cyborg!" writings, he never once discusses what it means that he has neural implants when millions of others don't have medical treatment for curable conditions. Head up own arse.

Still, he is doing it.
