hi andy,

 there is an article along similar lines in todays' independent

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/article1174087.ece

same story in new scientist:

and scientific american:

my understanding of this technology is that it is tapping into neural pathways related to motor nerves that have previously been intact, ie there is a reactivation of nerual networks already laid down. that seems to me to be a very long way from the suggestion that 'inward thought' could be projected using same process. can't we do that anyway with existing- films? ;)
