    I can never be convinced of scientific mirricles of this time of year, its to nearer april fools. I once had an april fools joke played on me which back fired in a spectacular way.

    On the other hand would the BBC lie about such a major thing? Probably not.

    Edit I am sure it is genuine but does this mean they can be used with crinimals?

    I'm sure it's genuine but I'm also sure that it's extremely primitive. The idea that a chip can 'read thoughts' is laughable (and I'd put that down to journalistic licence). However, certain types of electrical brain activity can be generated by conscious volition and this activity could be used for simple control mechanisms.

    PS: Back in the Seventies Barbarah Brown was using alpha wave biofeedback machines to control toy trains.

    Of course it is primitive... the press love to play on things.

    However, what they're suggesting as a wireless control unit to substitute the severed nerves is interesting - new possibilities for the talented hacker!
