American researchers say they’ve performed what they believe is the first ever human-to-human brain interface, where one person was able to send a brain signal to trigger the hand motions of another person.“It was both exciting and eerie to watch an imagined section from my brain get translated into actual action by another brain,” said Rajesh Rao, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, in a statement.Previous studies have done brain-to-brain transmissions between rats and one was done between a human and a rat.Rao was able to send a brain signal through the internet – utilizing electrical brain recordings and a form of magnetic stimulation – to the other side of the university campus to his colleague Andrea Stocco, an assistant professor of psychology, triggering Stocco’s finger to move on a keyboard....Chantel Prat, a research partner in the experiment and assistant professor at the Washington university’s Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences, cautions people against overestimating the technology.“There’s no possible way the technology that we have could be used on a person unknowingly or without their willing participation," she said in a release.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
Humanity does learn from history,sadly, they're rarely the ones in power.
Life is too damned short for the concept of “guilty” pleasures to have any meaning.
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
What I wanna know is...can I control my computer with my brain now? Seriously, I could get so much more shit done that way.

Seriously, I could get so much more shit done that way.I'd love to be able to exercise my muscles while gaming that way. Imagine running in WoW. Now imagine the muscles getting the same workout as walking without actually getting out of your chair. If they pull that off, sign me the fuck up.

Sitting still with your muscles bouncing around under the skin
Master how may I serve you?
