The power of thought
{It's early days for BCI, but already the US military is investing millions through the defence procurement agency DARPA in similar projects. And, while the idea of targeting enemy combatants or controlling battlefield robots by thought alone may still be the stuff of science fiction, Dr James is already experimenting with a motorised wheelchair that could be steered by the power of the occupant's mind.}

{The programme is being funded by Darpa, the US military's research arm.
Earlier this year, Sandia National Laboratories awarded the contract to build the next generation of the hopper to Massachusetts-based robotics firm Boston Dynamics.}

While Boston Dynamics has a real connection to DARPA, Massive_Dynamic is just connected to the FRINGE TV series.

{Fringe is an American science fiction television series co-created by J. J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. The series follows an FBI Fringe Division team based in Boston, Massachusetts under the supervision of Homeland Security. The team uses unorthodox "fringe" science and FBI investigative techniques to investigate "the Pattern", a series of unexplained, often ghastly occurrences which are occurring all over the world. The show has been described as a cross between The X-Files, Altered States, The Twilight Zone, and Dark Angel.[1][2]}

DARPA's, Remote controlled bugs project
{A Pentagon-sponsored project to control flying insects remotely has sent ripples of excitement across the scientific pond.
Part insect, part machine, the "cyborg beetle" has been tested successfully by its developers at the University of California, Berkeley.}
