Harnessing brain signals shows promise for helping patients with paralysis
Article Abstract:
The desire to communicate is considered as a fundamental need, and a growing number of researchers in the field of brain-computer interface (BCI) development are working towards patients who suffer from severe motor disabilities. Researchers are continuing to explore harnessing on patients' own brain signals as a means to communicate and function independently.
