QuoteUniversity of Washington researchers have successfully replicated a direct brain-to-brain connection between pairs of people as part of a scientific study following the team's initial demonstration a year ago. In the newly published study, which involved six people, researchers were able to transmit the signals from one person's brain over the Internet and use these signals to control the hand motions of another person within a split second of sending that signal.

The movie was The Surrogates, was mediocre.

I thought this was about the movie Gamer.

Actually, that's true. Gamer did have a human puppet aspect.
