Seriously, this is great news and gives hope to people with paralysis.

BUT

Monkeys and robots - you just know things will end badly.

I guess if it was the other way around - robots control monkeys with their minds - we'd really have to worry.

This is really great, I really hope that this technology continues to grow and allow people to retain a normal life.

I hope too that this technology continues to grow and help people who have disabilities, but the title for the article on cnn.com is priceless.  Best title ever.

Yes, I assume it refers to something a particular group of monkeys did, rather than a statement about the abilities of monkeys in general.  :teddyr:
