The era of real cyborgs has begun. The U.SFood and Drug Administration (FDA) (http://mashable.com/category/FDA/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=) gave its first approval for the sale and marketing of a prosthetic arm that translates signals from a person’s muscles on Friday
Informally k**wn as the "Luke" arm (a reference to Luke Skywalker's robotic arm in Star Wars (http://mashable.com/category/star-wars/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss)), the Deka Arm, which is controlled by electrical signals from electromyogram (EMG) electrodes connected to the wearer's muscles, can **w move from research experiment to full-fledged commercial product. That's right, bionic limbs are about to go mainstream
