Who has not thought to themselves: "I wish I could just wake up and know how to play the guitar." Based on the popularity of the game Guitar Hero, I am guessing this is a common wish. Thanks to researchers in Japan we are a little closer to just waking up with guitar skills. With a new invention called: PossessedHand (creepy) a computer can take control of muscles in your hand, causing your fingers to twich and grip at will. The computer uses a system of 24 electrodes attached to the forearm to create what is described as low level inputs. The thought being that this system can guide your hand with timing and correct movement, but its up to you to provide the strength.
Guitar Hero Version 10?
I love the possibilities of this automated system, you could practice the guitar with this on your hand until the notes become muscle memory. Is that cheating? Would this eliminate musical variation from artists, as they all learn the exact same basics? Probably. Does that mean that I wouldn't try it if given the oportunity, no way. Just make sure the "choke the user" reflex is turned off first.
