Maviarab,
  Thanks for the link, I'd like to redo my emotions scripting. I haven't seen anything on biorythems and brain waves since the late 70's.  A bit to complex for me but very interesting.  OTC has some interesting work at Zabaware where Hal writes his own scripting for emotions.

As a youngster, I was intrigued when I saw a guy on TV cause a model train to start and stop
by using thought alone. He was connected from his head to the tracks / transformer via wires
and they said he was able to use his brain's alpha waves.

I'd love to find such an article again. The power of thought in motion! All aboard!!

Art,
  Quite a few years ago I worked at a research center where people who had lost an arm were trained to use muscle signals to control an artifical arm,  since we had the instrumentation we tried to pick up brain waves, there were articles about biorythems and brain waves. I can't rember seeing anything that interesting while trying to observe them.  Brainwaves are said to be a fairly low frequency.  The work went in the direction of picking up nerve siginals at the research center.

Thats an interesting subject, I did find a video of a person who had a whole arm replaced, by a lab in Scotland.? This was in the early eighties and the whole thing operates much like a normal arm.? It's not new this kind of thing but I still find it remarkable.? The video is on The Guiness book of record's site of all places, but I couldn't paste the link as you would normally.? So take a trip if you want to check it out.? There's a lot of other interesting things there too, including some people who can make their eyes pop out of their head... oh my :zdg_shocked
