This is scary to me...perhaps this is conspiratorial sounding...but...if something can be invented to allow the mind to control something, is that far away from something that can be used to do the reverse? (I know I'm sounding like tinfoiler here but given the article this is a legitimate question, I think...)

I don't see it as being a tinfoiler, but being realistic. Science/technology can always be put to evil ends, as well as to good ends.

Here's an article which came out a couple of months ago:

We have ways of making you walk, say scientists

This technique has the potential to be used for good ends (balance problems, motion sickness), but it's also rather creepy to think of being manipulated with such a device for unscrupulous reasons (if something were to be implanted in you without your consent, for example).

If one can map your brainwaves and translate them into thought paterns, then one know what you're thinking...

If one can reproduce those brainwaves and transfer them into your brain then one can produce your actions...
