For designers of brain-computer interfaces, whose goal is to translate neural patterns into commands for a prosthetic device, it may be important to know that the emerging plan to execute a ‘power grip’ style, for example, may look different when the object is a hammer versus a soda can. Because the information is distributed across many neurons in a local network, it is possible to … Continue reading Researchers begin to hone cybernetics by mapping grip pressure variance in the brain.
