What it is
Electrodes implanted in the motor cortex that decode movement intention to control cursors, robotic arms or synthesise speech. They restored communication to paralysed people.
What it led to
- Speech neuroprosthetics and communication for patients with ALS
- Commercial neurotechnology and neurorights
- The decoding of brain signals with deep learning
Built on
Made possible
- speech neuroprosthesis
- mind-controlled prosthetics
