CNN News - Bionic Arm
 
I was working out today in my Body Toning class and I happened to see this on CNN -- http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/09/14/b....ap/index.html
The possibilities!
Anyone else get a chance to see it?

Yeah i caught it as i tried to fall asleep in my room today. It looks like something that has potential, but with a price tag of $4,000,000, its not affordable to the average joe.

True but the technology is great!!

The grafts receive thought-generated impulses, and the muscle activity is picked up by electrodes. These relay the signals to the arm's computer, which causes motors to move the elbow and hand, mimicking a normal arm.
