Now can we discuss how our world is becoming more cyberpunk or something? Vk, you were saying about neural interfaces.... I heard that there was a mouse at the U of A that they connected to a computer, and I also heard on the radio that they had connected a quadrapelegic to a brain scanner and had a program that read his brain scans and translated them to moving a cursor. That's cool non-invasive "decking".... have you heard anything about that?
I saw one of those science 'digest' programs (on Discovery channel?) about a year ago that featured this guy. I caught only the tail end of the segment so I don't know what all was involved in the surgery/setup, but he had a hole cut into the top of his head where the connectors could pass through. They showed him as he tried to draw a circle and got a really lop-sided box... but that's something I'm sure would improve with practice.
