Scientists want you to be able to move things with your mind, and they’re getting closer than ever to delivering on that promise. 

In a new study published in Nature, scientists were able to get two rhesus monkeys to navigate an electronic wheelchair mainly using their brainwaves. The group developed brain-machine interface implants, which were temporarily inserted into the monkeys’ brains to harness their cortical neuron activity. The monkeys were then placed in the wheelchair and near a food source in order to motivate them toward an endpoint. 

The goal in creating this type of brainwave leveraging technology is to one day be able to apply it to robotic prosthetics, giving those with missing limbs the opportunity to regain a full spectrum of movement and ability.
