Darth Vader eat your heart out: Researcher controls a colleague's hand by channelling his brain signals through the INTERNET

It looks like Spock and Darth Vader may have some competition in the mind control stakes. Researchers in the U.S. claim to have discovered the secret to mind control by creating the world's first ever human-to-human brain interface. Using electrical brain recordings and a form of magnetic stimulation, Rajesh Rao sent a brain signal to Andrea Stocco on the other side of the Washington University campus, causing Stocco's finger to move on a keyboard.
