Woohoo! Came across this article today, and I figured it’s worth a look.

The BrainGate™ System is based on Cyberkinetics’ platform technology to sense, transmit, analyze and apply the language of neurons. The System consists of a sensor that is implanted on the motor cortex of the brain and a device that analyzes brain signals. The principle of operation behind the BrainGate™ System is that with intact brain function, brain signals are generated even though they are not sent to the arms, hands and legs. The signals are interpreted and translated into cursor movements, offering the user an alternate “BrainGate™ pathway” to control a computer with thought, just as individuals who have the ability to move their hands use a mouse.

Sooo… Cyberpunk. So, when can I get my Neural Interface Jack, hmmm?

Next up, is a mountain bike by the folks at Specialized.

Now, it looks cool as heck and neck breakingly fast; but how the hell are you supposed to steer the damned thing?
