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.

This means that Timmah could teach his English classes from his American recliner through a tele-operated Korean hobo, doesn't it? What's not to like?

Didn't we see this movie already? Gamer or something, with that guy from Gladiator and Machine Gun Preacher?

Submissive women developed a way to control my hand motions over the internet years ago.

He wasn't in Gladiator.  You're confusing with 300.

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