Title: Monkeys control robots with brain
Post by: Tale on May 29, 2008, 01:22:55 AM
Right now, I see no reason to ever post again. I cannot improve on Monkeys control robots with brain (http://au.news.yahoo.com/080528/2/171tp.html).

BBC version has video (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7423184.stm).

I was trying to figure out how this was different from the story that came out about a year ago.  For those who might also be wondering:

Quote
"The entire task is now performed with brain control," said Andrew Schwartz, the lead researcher and a professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

In preliminary experiments, also with Macaca mulatta monkeys, computers assisted with various parts of the task, he explained.

Fucking awesome.

We torture monkeys for science. We then give them control over robots.

Humans are destined for extinction. Damned dirty apes.

As I said on my blog, I, for one, welcome our cybernetic monkey overlords.

In the future, wars will be fought by monkeys controlling giant robots with murder thoughts.

I'm not sure what weapons will be used in the great monkey wars but I do know the human rebellion will be fought with sticks and stones.
