Quadriplegic moves objects with thoughts
It's science that will hopefully give this guy who tried to do the right thing his life back. And before you start, all technology can be used for bad purposes. Humans have been pretty good about not doing that though. Also, I am curious what IGTG has to say

In a medical breakthrough worthy of an illusionist's act, a U.S. quadriplegic has been able to move objects around him through the power of thought.
Usng a tiny sensor implanted on his brain, the paralyzed Massachusetts man was able to open email, control a prosthetic hand and adjust the volume on a television just by thinking about doing so, according to a cover article in this week's edition of the journal Nature.
And researchers say the thought-capturing technology could soon lead to profound improvements in the lives of people with spinal cord injuries � even to the point where arms and legs could be made to move at will. |
I mean seriously, this is cool. |

| Kinda cool, but I thought you meant he had The Force when I read the thread title. Still, could make realdolls more fun in the future when we're all hooked up I guess(http://www.realdoll.com). |

| I can move an object with my thoughts too. Those thoughts are not good though. Let's see if I can find that football babes thread. |
