Scientists Connect Human Brain To Computer Wirelessly For First Time Ever
samedi 10 avril 2021, 20:34 , par Slashdot
'Scientists have demonstrated the first human use of a wireless brain-computer interface, a potential breakthrough for people with paralysis,' reports The Next Web (in a story shared by Slashdot reader Hmmmmmm):
While traditional BCIs are tethered to users via cables, the new system — called BrainGate — replaces the cords with a small transmitter affixed atop a users' head. The unit then connects to an electrode array implanted in the brain's motor cortex. In a clinical trial, two participants with paralysis used the system to point, click, and type on a standard tablet computer. They both achieved similar typing speeds and point-and-click accuracy as those attained with wired systems. The researchers say it's the first time a device has transmitted the full spectrum of signals recorded by a sensor in the brain's motor cortex. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
