The Intention Machine

Abstract

Brain-machine interfaces, or BMIs, can send and receive messages to and from neural circuits. Existing BMIs tend to provide imprecise or sluggish performance. New research puts the interfaces in brain areas that formulate a person's intentions to move, making the technology more versatile for those with spinal cord injuries.
