Electrical activity from the surface of the brain may be precise enough to control prostheses
A message from Clymer.."CC"..Conrad Clyburn to all members of Traumatic Brain Injury - TBI on MedTechIQ!
Colleagues,
MIT Tech Review reports...Using neural activity recorded from a sheet of electrodes laid directly on the surface of a patient's brain, scientists can predict the movement of fingers, as well as which of several sounds the patient is imagining. Eventually, researchers hope to use the findings to develop intuitive neural prostheses, such as a robotic hand that moves its fingers with as little mental effort as it takes to move real ones, or a computer interface that detects imagined words.

ENJOY!
