And so it begins :Q

?I?m able to move my hand, wrist and elbow all at the same time,? she said. ?You think, and then your muscles move.?

Pretty amazing. I thought OT would enjoy this more than P&N.

That is pretty amazing.

Pretty awesome stuff going on in that field.

It will be hacked so other brains can control it. Everyone knows this.

Just wait until the arms are connected to the Internet and a virus causes it to go on a killing spree.

Now if they could fix the "mouth listen to brain" issue that plagues some people...

:laugh:

 

[TheVrolok]

Absolutely incredible.

 

[OverVolt]

I wonder if they changed the default password on the arm.

That field is ultimate awesome. Just imagine, that within the our lifetimes, we'd see something closer to what we saw in Star Wars with the artificial hands and such.

Yes it is. And with the advances we are making in respect to the size of computers and electronics, I would assume before long that big flap jacket she is wearing will go away. Cylons 🙂

i went to a design conference in about 1983 where they had an Australian robot-
designer/artist named Stelarc with a 3rd arm that he controlled using nerve-endings
on his stomach.

as part of his talk, he wrote a nine letter word on the whiteboard - his left arm wrote
the first 3 letters, his right arm wrote the second 3 letters, and the robot arm would
wrote the last 3 letters.

but in StelArc's case, he had a lifetime training in biofeedback etc.

i'm glad it's commercially available.

In other news, Artificial Limb ignores brain, proceeds to beat patient senseless.

Quit hitting yourself. Quit hitting yourself.

No, you have it backwards. They need to disconnect those two from each other. :laugh:

It's already possible to wire someone's jaw shut. 😉

That won't stop them from making sound/verbalizing.

A mouth in drive with the brain in park should not be allowed! 😛
