Explore cutting-edge neuroprosthetics research involving monkeys controlling robotic arms through brain implants and innovative experiments with cockroach neural signals. Discover how doctors are bypassing neural injuries using electronic means.
E N D
Most neurons in the mammalian brain and spinal cord do not regrow when damaged
Doctors try to bypass the site of neural injury through electronic/computer means
A research group in Pittsburgh has trained a monkey implanted with electrodes in his brain to control a robotic arm to feed itself
Experiment: Record neural signal from one cockroach leg, input that signal to stimulate another cockroach leg
