Here's the v. impressive thought-controlled Dean Kamen robotic arm:

The question is - given our recent discussion on the validity of experiments
showing how words activated appropriate physical movement areas in the
brain - how exactly do these brain-machine interfaces work? What signals are
being picked up that enable these robot arms and hands to form precise
shapes, and curl around balls, say? The two areas of "embodied mind"
neuroscience and practical BMI work seem deeply related - and perhaps to
touch on things like image/body schemas. Anyone know of any good links for
further research here?
