Researchers at Brown University in the United States have created a circuit that transmits brain signals to a computer wirelessly. This was reported in Independent.
The tests were carried out using BrainGate technology with a transmitter connected to the motor cortex. This made it possible for paralyzed patients to control their tablet PCs at the speed of wired systems.
“We have demonstrated that this wireless system is functionally equivalent to wired systems, which were the gold standard,” says John Simeral, associate professor of engineering.
In addition, the new system is easy to use. People with spinal cord injuries aged 35 and 63 tested it at home without difficulty.
“Thanks to this system, we can monitor brain activity from home for a long time, which was previously almost impossible,” concluded the head of clinical research BrainGate Lee Hochberg.
It was previously reported that a new human neuroninterface with a prosthetic limb, connected to the brain.
Scientists have tested a drug that “rejuvenates” the brain
