Added 1 new A* page:Executies only! No, wait, it...probably doesn't say that. Well okay it definitely doesn't, because as you can see in the photo of the original, there's definitely a "v" in there right at the edge of the paper. Plus the booking agent has hands! Who'd have guessed.

I've talked here before about humans controlling computers/robots with their brain, and also how Selenis' brain implants could do the same. So given that, and knowing as we do that robots will take over the world, it should come as no surprise that researchers (human, but no doubt controlled by robotic overlords) at the Montpellier Laboratory of Informatics, Robotics, and Microelectronics in France ("informatics" appears to be an actual word, although a rather generously defined one) have created an experiment in which a robot controls a human's arm by means of electrodes:

The excuse for doing this, according to the article, is that it could help with for instance muscular therapy after an injury. Fortunately though not all members of the scientific community have been assimilated as yet, as there are said to have been some who gave away their control-free status when they emitted "a nervous gasp" when the video was first shown at a conference. And really how much more proof do you need that the project is controlled by robotic puppetmasters when the project's human so-called "lead" researcher sums it up like so (partially paraphrased in the article): "The approach is safe and with some tweaks the stimulation could be made 'comfortable' for people. 'You get used to it,' he said."
I'm sure we will. >_>
