  Last I found someting on machine/wetthings interfaces was a note about 
some research in Denver where some blind person had a 4x4 grid of wired
straped to (his?) vision center (in the back of the head).  You got it,
a 16 BIT display.  After a lot of work and fidding with voltages this 
person kind of saw something, enough to encource the author of the article.
  Another lost leed in my connectionsconnectionsconnections machine was
someone in the south of Califorina that got the DOD to pay for a 1500 
element SQUID helmet (and the 5 or 10,000 transputers to do the FFT's).
This was for looking in and trying to see where a persons thoughts moved
around in there wetware.  (This was say 3 years ago before High temp Super
Conducters, so imagen a helmet (for your not thick enough skull) that has
liquid He in it!)
  Both of these notes are lost fragments that I would like pointers twoard
more info for if you got them.
  Most of the rest of what is going on is sensors for the arm to tell how it
is moveing in 3 space.  So digittoids, if you know more flow your info down
my light pipe...
