There is nothing exceptional about using brains to control motion. Reading the title of the NYT post I thought that some new device was built up to help monkeys control a robot by EEG. But then, there are plenty of electrodes in the brain of the poor monkey 
Yes, but, what if at the place of the monkey you have a paraplegic that could coordinate movements of a robot carrying him!
Yep, that’s a completely different situation, worth working in the field, and I’m almost sure they wouldn’t event need rasins and Cheerios to help with the training
