Artificial limbs could be operated by the power of the mind

It sounds like science fiction but the prospect of controlling robot
machines by thought alone has moved a step closer with a
groundbreaking experiment on human volunteers.
Scientists have already proved that monkeys can move a cursor on a
computer screen by thought waves and now there is evidence that
similar techniques could work on man.

I have been moving my legs, arms, etc with the power of my mind my whole
life. But did anybody offer me a Nobelprize? :P

Did you make the limbs? Or the interface?

With greater understanding comes deeper satisfaction
Gaps and dead ends in my understanding discomfort me
If I'm afraid, further seeking reveals misunderstanding
I believe it will always be thus.
I seek truth not for fear of loss, nor want of gain, nor need of words
I pursue truth no matter what it is, who says it or what I already
believe
