A study published in Cell reveals a paralyzed man could control a robotic arm for seven months following the implantation of an AI-enabled brain-computer interface.
Implantation of a brain-computer interface (BCI) into tetraplegic participants allowed for consistent control of a robotic arm and hand for reaching and grasping, according to a study performed at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and published in Cell.
