They need to put a head on that cheetah, it’s a little freaky. The jumping is super cool though.
I think “controlled by thought” is a little misleading, I mean it’s just intercepting the electrical impulses the brain is sending to muscles that are no longer present. Saying it’s thought-controlled implies to me that it can be controlled remotely, like telekinesis. I actually think the truth is pretty interesting.
Apparently I’m feeling a little persnickety about language this morning.

True. The writers tend to put more fiction in this kind of science.
