exoskeleton design
What this seems to indicate is that they don't have a good idea for a working physical model. That is a major problem in a grant proposal. Still exploring the background - this Professor did not get all the 50 million dollars alone, but still

$100 prize for a reviewIt seems that this topics is very interesting for Slashdot readers, as related articles are often discussed here. The answers to some of the questions that were raised here can be found on our pages, where we collected links to similar science and technology articles.
Please visit Neuroprosthesis News
Also, we would like to offer a $100 prize for the most thoughtful two-page article, commentary/criticism of either this Wired article alone, or a broader view of the current state of this science/technology field. Also please let us know in this thread whether you find this a fair compensation. We will then post the best on our site, with due references to the writer (unless s/he would like to remain anonymous). You keep the copyright permissions. Please send submissions to info@neuroprosthesis.org within a 15 day time frame. The results will be evaluated after that, and announced on September 15 on our site (unless we have 100,000 submissions and will have to beg for patience and time). Thanks.

this sounds more like Iris Scan to me
You just need to stand near the camera. It does not work with artificial eyes, or contact lenses, because the designers of the method also test pupil dilation - Blade Runner like

slashdot fatigue
you may agree or disagree with his article but why do some people make negative personal remarks about the author? especially ones which are not very insightful to say the least. to get back to the topics though. Try to enjoy newer and newer versions of LabVIEW, Statistica, SPSS, SPlus, Mathematica, MATLAB, Igor PRO and so on and so one on an endless list when all you want to do is some basic experiment

neuroprosthesis issues
We publish lots of related news on our site. From the remarks here I can see that Slashdot members are still not familiar with it, although we make a concerted effort to collect such news, provide discussions and some feedback in this highly publicized research field with the goal to help individuals with sensorimotor disabilities. Although I was consciously searching for the related Slashdot discussion, I simply did not have time to chime in earlier (see reasons on our site). So I am inviting you to visit if you are interested in related news and some background info. Neuroprosthesis News

Re:Even if it sucks, it's useful.
Well, not exactly, sorry to disagree here. They specifically mention "interview and interrogation" - I'd rather read Winnie-the-Pooh in a funny-fuzzy translation then.

DARPA Babylon and Wired
Wired magazine also pointed out the tastelessness and the weird symbolism (the destruction of the tower of Babel ??? ) of the logo. If you already discussed this very short article here, I apologize, if not and anyone is interested, I am happy to type it in tomorrow.

Economist Doomsday Scenario
I am quite happy that Slashdot readers/writers did not take the Economist Journalists' (Businessmen?) views all that seriously. I don't want to claim that there is no place for improvement. But such mind controlling implants were already used in research and to some extent monkeys and humans in the sixties and seventies. What's really new and not all that much revolutionary now is that the electronics is miniaturized to some extent - but it's one thing to resort to chronic electrode implants because nothing else seems to be able to desynchronize Parkinson's disease related tremor and another to ask for electrode arrays (even if they existed already) that could be used for cognitive enhancement! Please visit our site for some more balanced Science News and some background info. Quite a few of the research projects that you discussed here (following Press Releases) are presented there in a slightly different light - and also more informative in some sense than News articles even from Washington Post and New York Times Science and Technology section. Although I need to admit that some of the journalists do take the time to do some nice research in the field they write about. NeuroProsthesis News

Nature Magazine, Science Magazine
If you are interested in this type of research, please visit our Web site. We provide related information and some of the bacground, from time to time. Amazing that they managed to place their paper in Nature. Then again, it's not so amazing after all, given that the reviewers come from a small circle of buddies - you already discussed similar publications of those businessmen (and a few women serving them) here

100 dollars!A few days ago we posted a prize challenge for people who make good guesses about the identity of Segway Auction Winners. Compared to that, 500 dollars? from SETI ??? the competition is now over but you can still find Science News (often very relevant to some threads that are enthousiastically debated here) on our site. Please let us know how you like it. Neuroprosthesis News

Future Technologies
if you are interested in related Science news, please come and check out our Web site. Neuroprosthesis News That Science issue is great here and there but not everywhere, by the way. They refer to Professor Kevin Warwick with so much respect, that they may have influenced him to have the surgery done on him after all
