Researcher controls colleague’s motions in 1st human brain-to-brain interface

[Byron]

University of Washington researchers have performed what they believe is the first noninvasive human-to-human brain interface, with one researcher able to send a brain signal via the Internet to control the hand motions of a fellow researcher.

...and the day on which I can finally punch someone in the face via TCP/IP draws closer. Only now I can add "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!"

Keep this technology out of my hands or there will people getting force-choked via phone and internets.

I'm going to start giving funny looking hats to people as gifts.

Gonna need more bandwidth!
I'm not sure if it's true, but I always heard that the porn industry basically financed the development of the VCR.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true! Give yourself to the Dark Side

Just give the chance to apologize first.

The inside of my head was the last privacy frontier and in ten years Google will be data mining in there, too.

I used to want to see the future, now I'm almost glad I'm about half done. It's not going to be a cool future like Firefly or Blade Runner, or even an awful dystopia worth rebelling against, like Equilibrium or 1984; it's going to be Demolition Man, only without Wesley Snipes to liven things up, or something all drearily touchy-feely, like Avatar without the Astroburton and Spacewater mercenaries to serve as foils for our Gaia-huggin' heroes.

I'm thinking more the works of Philip K Dick...

But Rao cautioned this technology only reads certain kinds of simple brain signals, not a person’s thoughts. And it doesn’t give anyone the ability to control your actions against your will.

Not yet anyway.
