- New Dawn In Brain-machine Interfacing
Scientists have made a breakthrough in their efforts to bring paralysed people the ability to use thought power alone to control artificial limbs, and to interact with computers and other electrical devices. John Donoghue and colleagues implanted a tiny...
- Growing Neural Circuits Into An 'extension Cord'
Neural 'extension cord' developed for brain implants 19 January 2007 - New Scientist. Smith, at Pennsylvania. Quite a nice trick. "A group of neurons is cultured on top of an array of 96 electrodes covered with a protein coating that causes them...
- Robotic Exoskeletons - Handy At Work And Home
Great work by Tsukuba University: "An exoskeleton that can be worn by a human is a new type of robot under development at Tsukuba University. It's called Hybrid Assistive Limb, HAL for short, and anyone who wears it has potential to lift up to 10-times...

http://english.people.com.cn/200702/27/eng20070227_352761.htmlScientists with the Robot Engineering Technology Research Center of east China's Shandong University of Science and Technology say they implanted micro electrodes in the brain of a pigeon so they can command it to fly right or left or up or down.
The implants stimulated different areas of the pigeon's brain according to signals sent by the scientists via computer, and forced the bird to comply with their commands.
