Scientists develop a machine-brain interface that can detect neural activity and predict the movement of fingers, as well as which of several sounds the patient is imagining. This may lead to robotic limbs that move as easily as real ones, or a computer interface that detects imagined words:

Machine-brain intervace will be a reality with Cyber-eugenics. Although a work of fiction, Bernard Amador's novel CYBER-EUGENICS: The Neural Code, explains advances in cognitive science and the cracking of the neural code is the future direction of modern day control efforts. There will no longer be a need for a computer-interface.
Actually, I think the real future is in the replacement of biological humans with machine humans. Cybernetics, like genetic engineering, is a stepping stone or a sideshow to that end.
