ripken204 Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 a new technology has just came out where electrodes are implanted into your brain. this allows you to think about moving the mouse curser and it will happen. its a work in progress but this is meant for people that are disabled/paralyzed.

#rootworm Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) i can verify this is fact, and not even that new.i saw the video the researcher made quite a while back, and it was pretty impressive.the performance isn't instant, but the paralyzed dude would think about moving the cursor to a certain part of the screen (i.e. upper right corner) and after a second or so the cursor would move there. crazy stuff.

CptMurphy Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 What do you have to think about? 'Cuz if it's a normal man, the chip would proabably overload from all the porn he wants to watch. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3aces Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) To be fair..a physically retricted person can also think about porn...and the only thing this machine does is allow the user..to perform the functions built in...thats it..they can think about porn..or macdonalds..it wont help them unless...it has porn built in..which i seriously doubt!!
