How about controlling a machine with your mind that reacts faster than your body possibly could? Or watching a monkey control a robot walking on a treadmill with its mind halfway across the world? One of these has already happened, and the other is quickly approaching. The ability to control a machine with your mind is one that’s created villains and fueled fantasies. Cybernetics research is quickly evolving to the point where, “if you can dream it, you can do it” isn’t just for Disney anymore.
