To emulate this kind of behaviour - albeit in a more simplistic fashion - Dr Rao and his team are developing a hierarchical brain-computer interface for controlling the robot.
The human brain works as a binary computer and can only analyze the exact information-based zeros and ones (or black and white).
The Human Brain Project will attempt to build a computer-based copy of a human brain to understand neurological disorders and the effects of drugs.
For someone with the current brain-computer interface technology, it takes tremendous concentration and effort to type out a short message on a computer screen.
FORBES: What Will Be the Next Truly Revolutionary Technological Development?
These days a lot of Chevron's combined brain and computer power is tuned to peer into the gulf's promising Lower Tertiary Wilcox trend.
Using videogame software code, he has built a virtual reality arm based on an arm wired with FES. Donoghue translates brain signals, and Kirsch uses them to drive the arm on a computer screen.
As a professor in the department of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he's using a combination of mathematical modeling, computer simulation and behavioral experiments to explain how people learn new things.
The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have partnered together on a successful trial for a brain-computer interface that allows a person to control a robotic arm using only their thoughts.
Among the other drama pickups (the only comedy, The IT Crowd, won't air until later in the season): Journeyman, about a newspaper reporter traveling through time, and Chuck, about a computer geek turned government agent who has spy secrets embedded in his brain.
The device is them connected to a battery and computer which can measure and gather information about the pain-carrying nerves signalling the brain.
ENGADGET: Chip implanted in spinal cord could help sufferers of chronic pain (video)
Their brain cells were structured together into columns, an innovation that could be repeated like a computer chip to make larger and more powerful minds-- from mice to cats and dogs to humans.
