seeder Posted February 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Oh boy - Avatar the movie just took a step closer to being real... Master monkey's brain controls sedated 'avatar' The brain of one monkey has been used to control the movements of another, "avatar", monkey, US scientists report. Brain scans read the master monkey's mind and were used to electrically stimulate the avatar's spinal cord, resulting in controlled movement. The team hope the method can be refined to allow paralysed people to regain control of their own body. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26224813 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
