CYBERKINETICS:
TURNING THOUGHT INTO ACTION

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given Cyberkinetics Inc. the green light to begin human tests (clinical trial) of its "brain-machine interface" device.

The device, a four-millimeter-square array of 100 tiny electrodes will be implanted in the brains of up to five quadriplegic people and connected by wires to a nearby computer, promises to let the patients control the computer (and associated communication tools and other aids) using only their brain signals.
