What is Digg?51 Comments
- ghidorahnotweak, on 10/15/2008, -0/+28What would happen if you connected one person's motor cortex to another person's muscles?
- ExRe, on 10/16/2008, -1/+22Stop hittin yourself. Stop hittin yourself. Stop hittin yourself.
- Moisgreat, on 10/16/2008, -1/+14Can this technology be used on the love muscle?
- jcc6655, on 10/16/2008, -0/+9I may as well be the first to say it.. "Resistance is Futile!"
- palehorse864, on 10/16/2008, -1/+10This scientific breakthrough has so much potential.
"Why ya hittin yourself? Why ya hittin yourself?" - theshizzler, on 10/16/2008, -1/+10Puppetry of the Penis
- mb3581, on 10/16/2008, -0/+7Digg, cures what ails you
- giogalindo, on 10/16/2008, -0/+7hehe. grasp.

Dr. Strangelove Syndrome. - Ne007, on 10/16/2008, -0/+5This now completes it!
I am now impervious to everything with the cures that I've found on digg! - every2ndcounts, on 10/16/2008, -1/+6Robot-Apes....we are screwed
- inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+5A lot of sexual desires would be fulfilled
- theshizzler, on 10/16/2008, -0/+5That's an idea I can easily grasp.
- inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4Might this also help people with Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases that cause partial paralysis?
- postvivace, on 10/16/2008, -4/+8*****
- ExRe, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4It will work with anything as long as the start and end points are in tact (meaning just the nerves on the way are damaged).
- OpusMortis, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4The scientist added,
"More importantly, I won't even have to move my fingers to play Leisure Suit Larry anymore. My hands will be free to engage in more important activities." - theshizzler, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Krang and the Technodrome approve.
- synik, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3That would be a good way to seriously damage your bones and muscles.
- LegomanArt, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3But a football to the groin is still a football to the groin.
- inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3i'm sorry but i think this is really cool and i sincerely hope it goes somewhere

The most interesting finding here was that different motor cortex cell that was previously associated with moving say your tongue to be able to control your wrist. The brain's flexibility is really magnificent. - RawCoyote, on 10/16/2008, -1/+4At last, a cyborg army is within my grasp!
- DiggzDE, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Next step. Linking another person's mind to the nerves of another person. Complete motor control over another human being.
Watch Fringe put this in their show in a few weeks. lol. - seandfeeney, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Just imagine if you could hack into the computer and take control of it...
- StarofTroy, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2Heading up the research team was Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius who remarked that he was very excited to begin testing this technology on humans.
- NaturalCauzes, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2computerized bypass to whiskey dick?
- Shugii, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2It possibly could give you a wedgie...

Credit where credit due (scientists, not the digg, although submitted a minute earlier lol) - these "researchers"
and "scientists" do have names, and institutions they are representing.
Go UW! - arborvitae, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Nothing would happen but maybe pain. The motor cortex does not communicate directly with muscle. To date, attempts to restore neural connections in the PNS typically result in extreme pain for the patient. Direct neural interactions to devices is one thing, but we are a LONG way from re-establishing damaged nerve function in real "wet" tissue.
- StarofTroy, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Cialis shares have been going down since this came out. Coincidence?
- maochunchun999, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1 very interesting
- kd1s, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Lets just hope they don't use a Microsoft OS to control the thing. Can you imagine what a BSOD would do?
- blakestah, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1They were actually monkeys, not apes.
- Myrth, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1For any productive use they'll need also to implement reverse feedback, meaning sensory input from the arm/hand back to the brain.
Good luck with that.... - kellenvh, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Why didn't someone think of this early? I wonder how long it will take to get to the general public, and who will be able to afford it?
- jeffsback2223, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1I'm wondering if you could use this to say... bypass the normal limitations of a humans body. Like force a human hand to bend steal, that sort of thing.
- Myonosken, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1***** the Nexus.
- Shugii, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1Actually someone did, it has just taken decades of research to be able to implement it.
- wunksta, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1ive been wondering when this stuff would start
- NaturalCauzes, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1Ahhh....scientific breakthroughs on digg that will never make it.
- giogalindo, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1recently. he was a DT for the jaguars i think. Richard Collier?
- giogalindo, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1they need to try this on that NFL player who got paralyzed from the waist down real quick.
- maochunchun999, on 10/16/2008, -0/+0so silly
- Terasiel, on 10/18/2008, -1/+1Not if I take this football antidote!
- inactive, on 10/16/2008, -1/+0ahh ok. I met Mike Uttley a few years ago. He was a lineman for the Lions in the mid 90's, and he was also paralyzed from a neck break during a game.
- whimmel, on 10/16/2008, -1/+0What? No wi-fi?
- branden88, on 10/16/2008, -3/+1you can give so many ppl the finger and just blame it on malfunction
- inactive, on 10/16/2008, -2/+0Which one? There have been a few.
