FeaturedNeuroscienceneurotechRobotics·January 9, 2020Decoding hidden brain chatter to advance neuroprosthesesNeural activity patterns for limb movements remain stable over time. Researchers were able to record, decode, and reconstruct activity patterns from common movement skills. The findings could have immediate implications for the development of neuroprosthetics that can bypass brain injuries by inferring intended motor actions from a person's brain. Read More
