Brainmachineinterface

1. The document discusses a brain-machine interface experiment where monkeys' brain signals were used to control the movement of a robotic arm in real time. Electrodes were implanted in the monkeys' brains to detect neural signals. 2. The signals were analyzed by a computer system to recognize patterns that corresponded to different arm movements. This allowed the monkeys to control the robotic arm simply by thinking about moving their own arm. 3. Such technology could help paralyzed people control prosthetic or robotic limbs using their brain signals, representing an important step toward neuroprosthetics that restore movement. It may also improve rehabilitation methods for people with brain or spinal cord injuries.
