BRAIN-MACHINE INTERFACE. “People have powered robotic arms with thought alone, and have controlled robotic exosketons using electrodes. And monkeys have used thought power to move objects on a computer screen. But this experiment, if it pans out for humans, would allow someone completely paralyzed to operate a wheelchair.” http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/monkeys-brain-implants-steer-wheelchairs-using-thought-alone-n531156 View in LinkedIn

THERAPY. “The researchers claim the mesh can be positioned with an accuracy approaching the scale of individual neurons. Activity can then be recorded to study the workings of brain circuitry, or neurons can be stimulated for therapeutic applications such as the deep-brain stimulation used to treat Parkinson's disease.” https://lnkd.in/dmA-KeT View in LinkedIn
