Restoring Autonomy for People with Paralysis
A team of engineers, neuroscientists, and neurosurgeons at UC Davis and UC Davis Health has made a groundbreaking discovery.
They have demonstrated that brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can translate brain signals into speech and control a computer cursor.
“Future steps in multimodal BCIs could include gesture decoding for all sorts of different things, enriching the types of interactions someone with paralysis can have with their environment beyond speech,”said Tyler Singer-Clark, a biomedical engineering Ph.D. student and first author on the paper.
Their findings, published in the Journal of Neuroengineering and supported by funding from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, pave the way for feature-rich BCIs.
Author summary: Engineers and neurosurgeons help people with paralysis regain autonomy.
