Wait a minute. The article referenced thinking, but the human actor in the test did something physical. So it's not just transmission of thought here, but thoughts associated with actions. Conceivably you have to be thinking about the action while you're doing it in order for the MRI reading to take place. And let's not forget the practicality of this. Are you really going to sit under an MRI machine all day just to get a robot to ape your actions?
