New Brain-Machine Interface Reactivates Monkey's Paralyzed Muscles From: IEEE Spectrum Online - 10/20/2008 By: Willie D. Jones Researchers have figured out a way to get macaque monkeys in their lab to manipulate temporarily paralyzed muscles in their arms using brain-controlled electrical stimulation. The researchers have demonstrated that the monkeys, after a few weeks of training, can quickly learn to control their brain activity with amazing precision.
