Monkey's brain controls robot arm

In this article, the u.s.a scientific though that it could be possible to feed a monkey
with a robotic arm.
Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University
implanted tiny electrodes into the primary motor cortex, the region of the
brain that sends electrical signals to other parts of the body to control movement.
After programming the arm to respond to certain brain activity,
the researchers were then able to train the monkeys to operate
the arm and have it reach for a treat, pick it up and bring it to their mouths.
They made the monkey learn haw to use it by first observing,
which activates his brain cells as if he were doing it.
University of Montreal researcher John Kalaska, who was not part of the research team, described in an accompanying news article the ease with which the monkeys adapted to and learned to control their robotic arms.
In the experiment the monkey learn by watching just like the scientific s thought it will be.
They say the research could lead to the development of prosthetics for people with spinal cord injuries and those with conditions such as Lou Gehrig's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
My opinion !!!
i think this experiment is really good because if this work they could help people that need it.
they should keep researching and doing more experiments like this , that could help people.
if it works it will be really cool and people could have more possibilities to live better.
