So it would appear that a monkey won't make all the difference.
Looking back to 2005, and the post "mind over matter" - on using sensors for tracking brain activity. And then fast forward to Wired issues 20.04 - with the telling title of the feature; "A True Bionic Limb Remains Far Out of Reach"
Turns out that the complexities involved in both measuring and responding to signals is still significant. In addition it turns out that we may have been "barking up the wrong tree" - with the brain handing off some of the signal processing and response to the spinal cord.
Keep dreaming of electric sheep...
