Abstract :
Researchers have long been working to put the brain in direct communication with machines. Recent demonstrations have seen animals and humans controlling ever more complex devices- advanced robotic arms and even prosthetic limbs that can provide tactile sensations. Here´s how a monkey, a rat, and a man were able to move matter with their minds.
