| Quote: | | The signal processing function of the BrainGate System was confirmed by its ability to reliably detect, transmit and analyze brain (neural) signals from the area of the brain that controls the movement of the hand and arm. Subsequent to the implant procedure, the patient was immediately able to send signals from this part of his brain in a controllable and meaningful fashion in response to directional commands even though he had not moved his arm in over three years due to a spinal cord injury. This capability has been maintained over a six-month period, and is continuing. A system has been developed to generate cursor control from these neural signals, enabling the patient to perform tasks and operate basic computer functions in numerous trials. The patient's control of the cursor was immediate and intuitive, and the patient was able to perform tasks while speaking and moving his head, without disruption. |
One pretty big step in bridging the gap between human and machine.

Signal processing is part of my son's research...only instead of limb movement, his work is related to visual signal processing

Nevermind jerking off, you could just send a command to your dingus to spew forth the baby batter.
