Warwick in Wired? Was probably
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.02/warwick.html
But that's nothing much at all. Warwick has something
of a reputation for being more about PR hype than
actual tech developments. There have been / are real
experiments involving humans, though, such as
http://augustachronicle.com/stories/102198/tec_124-5777.shtml
The new article refers to an improvement over what is
described in that above, basing on thoughts of the
specific motion desired instead of having to think
about something unrelated, with the electrodes
monitoring the actual "deciding to make this movement"
patterns instead of working from signals (such as
trying to pick up a glass) not directly related to the
movement desired.
Aumentar!
Onward,
