NOTICIA DE LA SETMANA 7: "A quadriplegic moves the arm with his thinking through an implant"

It's two sensors implanted in the brain that send signals to a computer, where it is forwarded the information to a system of electrical stimulation to move their limbs.

A man who was paralysed for eight years has managed, for the first time in history, move your arm with their thoughts, thanks to a neuroprosthesis installed in his head that sends the signals so that their arms are activated.

To achieve this, the team has implemented two sensors, each the size of an aspirin, laden with 96 electrodes designed to collect neural activity.

Sensors recorded brain signals generated when Kochevar has imagined moving his arm, and have transferred them to a computer.
