I remember an article a couple of years ago that did a similar think with mice. They recorded the brain activity of a mouse pushing a lever to get food. Then they removed the lever and apparently the mice could still get the food just by "thinking" about pushing the lever.
This kind of research has cool future VR potential...of course the whole sticking things in your brain will have to go.
