in a ground-breaking 5 year experiment at duke university's nicolelis lab, scientists hook up a robotic arm controlled by a computer game to a monkey's brain.
in training the monkey to move the arm by 'playing' the game with a joystick, researchers wanted to learn more about the output of the brain and the individual brain-cell signals. however the monkey was about to do something that would make history and change the lives of those involved.
