Typing monkeys

00:00

Science news with Dr Chris Smith. A team at Stanford is using brain computer interfaces to get monkeys to type at speeds of up to 12 words per minute. Throw in some predictive text (good old Autocorrect!) and technological improvements, and the technique could be used to help paralysed patients or those affected by conditions like motor neurone disease. Also a new way to store power from solar panels in water has been developed by scientists in Korea.
