Ohhh-ho-ho Duke University, with your fancy labs and professors with degrees... you've done it again.

According to Nature World News monkeys have successfully learned how to control an avatar with just their minds.

Using neuron activity in the central part of their brains, monkeys were able to place virtual hands on targets in front of them, first with joysticks, and then just their minds.

First of all, wait a second, wait a second... Technology exists that lets you control stuff on a screen with your mind???  Where can I get one of these devices, and how long before it's hooked up to the Kardashians from the comfort of my living room?

You just thought you were walking innocently by those multiple piles of feces, Kim, but you were oh so wrong *SPLAT*.

Telekinesis just got even more awesome.
