Wireless neuro-control of random stuff in your home.

The first implantation of robotic arms into a human being is to be performed at the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In a statement issued by the hospital, an agreement was signed during June that will see a team of neuroscientists from Duke University, in the United States, led by Brazilian doctor Miguel Nicolelis, perform the implant in approximately three years time. A microchip implanted into the patient’s brain will make it possible to control the prosthetics.

And I am so not joking. Imagine a battle for control of the television set minus the remote control as we know it.
