"The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in America has funded research at Duke University, North Carolina, where two monkeys, Ivy and Aurora, have been taught to play warlike video games using brain electrodes to choose their targets.

Two years ago Anthony Tether, the agency’s director, said: “Imagine a warrior with the intellect of a human and the immortality of a machine, controlled by our thoughts.” The idea was used in the Terminator film, The Rise of the Machines, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger is faced with the T-X, a killer robot in human flesh.

VOLUNTEERS are to have microchips implanted on the surface of their brains in the first human trials of a technology that will enable people to control machines using the power of thought alone."
