<SPAN id="intelliTXT"><P>Dig out your copy of Planet of the Apes or Netflix it, because monkeys are operating robots. A 12 pound monkey in North Carolina activated a 200 pound robot to walk on a treadmill using only brain activity.  It was the first time this had occured. The Duke University lab team proved that monkeys could use their thoughts to control mechanical/electronic devices.

These experiments, Dr. Nicolelis said, are the first steps toward a brain machine interface that might permit paralyzed people to walk by directing devices with their thoughts. Electrodes in the person’s brain would send signals to a device worn on the hip, like a cell phone or pager, that would relay those signals to a pair of braces, a kind of external skeleton, worn on the legs
