A paralyzed man is able to operate a robotic arm with long-term stability using a brain-computer interface (BCI) based on electrocorticography (ECoG).
Researchers at UC San Francisco (UCSF) have mapped how imagined movements shape brain activity patterns by implanting a sensor grid over the brain's motor regions.
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the BCI allows for seamless device operation for months, compensating for neural drift.
The aim is to refine AI models to improve speed and fluidity, ultimately offering individuals with paralysis a level of independence previously unimaginable.
