[spam] Brain chip reads man's thoughts

At
the TV news today I saw a paralysed man thinking (wishing) the wheelchair to go
to the right and the wheelchair turned right. They said that a chip was operated
on the brain and there were cables between the chip and a unit on the
wheelchair.

I
think this is inexplicable relative to HPCT.
I understand signals may go from cortex but these signals go to the
brain stem or to spinal centres.

I
found something about the same news (I think) at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4396387.stm

Can
anyone say something PCT-ish about this?
