It steers itself, that is new and pretty handy, it'd suck to have to crack your head open every time your brain remapped itself due to injury or design.
I think this is related to the work they've been doing with primates, generating 3 dimensional movement via reading brain activity. Exciting stuff for... well all kinds of reasons. |

Sounds like a hill climbing algorithm. It takes samples at one part of the head, comparing the usage of a neuron with the actual output (arm moving), then tries to find a better spot that has a higher correlation. Sounds smart. I guess you would have to train it so it can figure out what part of your brain controls what. Sounds a little like a trode.

well it is a trode, its just that you get a much better signal from reading straight from the neuron then trying to read the neuron thru bone, skin and other body parts.

I just showed a coworker of mine that article, he said he'd volunteer to be a perfect "corporate bitch" to have one of these installed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |
