Chinese researchers test neural implant that lets amputee to move cursor with mind
SMRTR summary
Chinese researchers successfully tested an advanced invasive brain-computer interface on an amputee, enabling mind-controlled cursor movement. The implant, featuring tiny, flexible electrodes, minimally disrupted brain tissue. The trial will expand to include paralysis and ALS patients, potentially reaching 40 participants by 2026. Future goals include controlling robotic arms and AI agents, with applications for various neurological disorders. This advancement positions China as a leader in BCI technology, second globally in human trials.
