The secret to building brain-controlled prostheses may be to ignore the brain entirely In the past several years scientists have delivered a slew of advances in wiring prosthetic limbs directly to the brain. A number of studies have reported that severely disabled patients--or monkeys employed as research surrogates--have used bionic limbs controlled by thought to, say, pick up a cup or hold up a hand and give a high five.
