A major breakthrough seems to have happened there - with one monkey's brain stimulating another's spinal cord and consequently controlling its movement, this raises a lot of interesting questions and potential applications.
Now, I'm a layman in this area, but what I can gather from the article is that brain signals indeed can be digitalized and transferred. Which would likely do wonders, once the technology get more developed, to help people with spinal cord injuries, for example.
So, any opinions from the escapists on the matter, what do you think of the concept, and its potential future use?
