Cyberkinetics Inc has begun government approved human testing of an implant to
the human brain:

The System consists of a sensor that is implanted on the motor cortex of the
brain and a device that measures and interprets brain signals and translates
these signals into useful computer control. 

It is hoped that the BrainGate System might someday allow people unable to use
their arms or hands to control a computer using their thoughts. The System could
potentially be used to help increase the independence of people with
disabilities by allowing them to control various devices with their thoughts.
Through their control of a personal computer, users of the BrainGate System may
be able to control a variety of devices to complete everyday tasks such as
composing an email, answering the telephone and controlling a television.
