I recently read an article about a robot that can be controlled by human brain signals. The human, in this case a paralyzed individual, wears a skull cap with electrodes that picks up and amplifies the electronic signals emitted by the brain.

Hearing of Stephen’s death this week I looked at my bookcase to see a copy of his seminal work.
