Re: New, from Apple
as funny as it sounds researchers have been able to do something similar with monkeys...
basically a monkey "thinks" about moving a cursor type thing on a screen and has to put it on tope of a target.. the scientists say that it is more like moving an extra joint than it is "thinking".. lie you wouldnt think "move mouse up" - you would actually think of thye movement (like i think of the movement of my hand)...
i woulf send you a link for the article, but it was a while ago.. there are a lot of researchers working on this hot topic, but the reason why this particular article stood otu was because it required very little training on the user's part, as opposed to other systems that require a lot more training.

might be problems tho, like, if your listening to your iTunes, and getting groovy from the visualizer, then the mouse starts a clicking here and there.. ruining all your fun.
