Oftentimes when scientists use their brains to make things like pump sneakers or AIBOs or studies about how jocks drink Red Bull we’re like, "Couldn’t you have been making some steps toward a cure for cancer/ AIDS/ alzheimer’s/ condlyomata/ etc instead?" But in this case, we’re glad that the team from U of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon took some time out of their "useful research" schedule to hook a monkey’s brain to a robot arm. Because it is awesome.
