Monkey's brain signals control 'third arm'

"The properties of the robot were being assimilated as if they were a property of the animal's own body."

Interesting choice of words, "assimilated".

This might solve the age old battle of Monkey vs Robot.
(Suddenly I have this cyberpunkish idea of robotic cyborgs controlled by monkey brains.)

Could DNI (Direct Neural Interface) or other ways of controlling computers be that far behind?
