A new electrode implant may help people with severe disabilities manipulate and pick up objects by themselves. The experimental BrainGate implant is a 96-electrode sensor the size of a baby asprin – and it allows people suffering from paralysis to control a robotic arm using only their thoughts. In this amazing video, you can see the array in action and hear the researchers explain how the technology works.
More information about the study is available in the journal Nature.
