[NewMusic] Mind Controlled Prosthetic Arm Plays the Piano?

[Linda Seltzer]

I think the science of this will be more complicated with respect to piano
playing.  I doubt there is anyone who actually thinks out every note while
playing a piece on the piano.  When playing music learned from a score one
develops what is informally called "finger memory."  I don't know how
brain scientists and artificial intelligence researchers deal with that
division of tasks between the brain and the hands.  Also, I don't know how
they would deal with chords.
