the purpose of controlling such external apparatus as prosthetic devices or
spaceships?” Vidal wrote in a seminal paper in 1973. Within a few years,
Vidal’s research yielded promising results: In one experiment, test subjects
were able to move an electronic object through a maze on a computer screen
just by thinking.
