"Honda has developed new brain-machine interface (BMI) technology that allows humans to control the Asimo humanoid robot simply by thinking certain thoughts."

This is really, really cool. One step closer to my new cyborg body.

And before the cyborg body is needed, a fully integrated power armour is feasible! YAY! ;D

Are we controlling it with our thoughts, or is it controlling us with its thoughts?  Would we even be able to tell?

Are our thoughts our own? Or are our brains merely "thought detectors" receiving thoughts from another source?
