"The experiments The experiments involved monkeys that were trained to reach for either of two targets on a computer screen.
while two jittering targets were positioned on either side of a computer screen. Colored barriers on the screen created a simple maze.
When the targets stopped jittering the monkeys were trained to move to one or the other target by sweeping his fingertip through the maze until he touched one of the targets.
During the experiments, 192 electrodes in each monkey's motor and premotor cortex began measuring brain activity the moment that the targets appeared on screen.

#Fiber-like light emitting diodes for wearable displays A research team at Korea Advanced Institute of Science
and Technology (KAIST) has developed fiber-like light emitting diodes, applicable to wearable displays. Professor Kyung-Cheol Choi and his research team from the School of Electrical engineering at KAIST have developed fiber-like light emitting diodes,
which can be applied in wearable displays. The research findings were published online in the July 14th issue of Advanced Electronic Materials.
Traditional wearable displays were manufactured on a hard substrate, which is attached later to the surface of clothes.
Such technique has posed limitations in applying it for wearable displays because inflexible displays were not adequate in practice,
and the characteristics of fabric were ignored. For a solution, the research team discarded the tradition of creating light emitting displays on a plane board.
Instead, they focused on fibers, a component of fabrics, and developed a fiber-like light emitting diode that has the characteristics of both fabrics and displays.
The essence of this technology, the dip coating process, is to immerse and extract a three dimensional (3-D) board that looks like a thread in a solution.
The researchers said that this technology would accelerate the commercialization of fiber based wearable displays
