It is a quite nice research result, and useful both practically
(bionics) and theoretically (how does the brain encode movement?). His
handler, Miguel Nicolelis, is quite extropian too. I met him a while
ago, and he seemed to be quite happy with the idea of bionics. Some of
his statements at CNN ought to make us cheer.
