A new brain-computer interface lets a paralyzed man control a virtual drone with his thoughts.
Researchers have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows a paralyzed man to control a virtual drone with his thoughts. The BCI, part of the BrainGate2 clinical trials, uses electrodes implanted in the brain's motor cortex to interpret the participant's imagined finger movements, enabling precise control of the drone. This breakthrough could help those with paralysis perform various tasks and enjoy recreational activities, though the technology requires individualized training and further refinement for complex tasks.
