A monkey that controls a robot with its thoughts. No, really.

Title:
A monkey that controls a robot with its thoughts. No, really.
Speaker:
Miguel Nicolelis
Description:

Can we use our brains to directly control machines? Miguel Nicolelis suggests yes, showing how a clever monkey in the US learned to control a robot arm in Japan purely with its thoughts. The research has big implications for quadraplegic people -- and in fact, it powered the exoskeleton that kicked off the 2014 World Cup.
