Researchers Describe Technology that Lets Spinal Cord Injured Man Control Robot Arm with Thoughts

Researchers describe how an electrode array sitting on top of the brain enabled a 30-year-old paralyzed man to control the movement of a character on a computer screen in three dimensions with just his thoughts. It also enabled him to move a robot arm to touch a friend’s hand for the first time in the seven years.

This image shows brain activity recorded by electrocorticography (blue circles). From the activity patterns (blue/yellow), spoken words can be recognized.
