Better videogaming in the name of science

We're both disturbed and impressed with this one. A few epileptic patients had electrodes implanted on the surface of their brain to test a new method of remote control. The four subjects were able to move an object in a simple videogame by thinking "Move!" The hope is that people with physical disabilities will one day be able to have more freedom of movement with just a thought. Linksys might be happy to hear a professor who was involved in the study say, ""You can't keep wires directly from the brain to the outside world indefinitely because of the increased risk of infection. We have to create a wireless system." These are indeed exciting times!
