Paralysed man flies virtual drone using just his thoughts thanks to brain chip To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video.
An AI model was used to convert the electrical signals fired from the brain’s neurons into digital signals used in the virtual drone-flying program.
A new study reveals how a brain implant allowed the man to trigger four different signals by thinking about moving his fingers and thumb.
But until now it had not seen much success when used in complicated tasks where brain signals are used to control several things at once.
This type of technology, known as a brain-computer interface (BCI), has previously allowed people with paralysis to control a mouse cursor and write words with a virtual pen.
