Interface. There are many ways of accessing the brain. They take electrodes, place it atop the brain, which follows or ne rds narrow signals urosignals. Ferried to aion is computer, and algorithm, that takes the information and transforms it into an action command. Perhaps it is moving a cursor from left to right or moving a robotic arm. It is using computer and algorithms to read and tension from the brain. Intention from the brain who discovered them . Malcolm that is controversial. People have been using electrodes in the brain for a very long time to determine various types of movement and try to understand how animals initiate movement. 1999, researchers realized they could take the recordings and could figure out, based on the rhythms of the firing patterns the cells were creating to enact certain movements, they could recreate that movement. The early work was done in mice models and the plea moved on to monkeys and humans. What is the practical effect of bcis . Malcolm the medi
Electric the dramatic hightech race to merge minds and machines the author is boston globe reporter malcolm gay. What is the dci . Guest well, lets see your dci is a brain computer interface. What that generally means, there are many ways of accessing the brain but what that means is they take electrodes, plays into the brain or a top of the brain which in all those or records neuro signals. Action potential, a small electric signals that self produced when theyre communicating with one another. That information is then ferried to the computer in an algorithm that takes that information and transformed into an action command. Perhaps it is moving a cursor from the left to the right or perhaps moving a robotic arm. Basically its using computer and algorithms, electrodes, to read intentions from the brain. Host how long have they been studied . Where did they come from . Who discovered them . Guest thats controversial, but basically people have been using electrodes in the brain for a ve
Goes for the biotech people Selective Service with or can we do to get the patients involved because it is very difficult to do but especially for pancreatic the people that got involved with the same funding people listen to them and we need a patient approach because the Congress People there its very sad to see john dingell sitting next to president obama.
