Computer enables quadriplegic to move simple devices

Here's a story about hooking a man's brain up to a computer and then he controls the cursor, with his brain. He then is able to control mechanical devices.

Within little or no learning time, the patient began to be able to move a computer cursor via the device to open simulated e-mail, draw circular shapes and play simple video games. He also was able to open and close a prosthetic hand and use a robotic limb to grasp and move objects, the researchers said.

One step closer...

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first Bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better . . . stronger . . . faster.
