Development • The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) • “Modular Prosthetic Limb” • 17 motors- control 26 joints • University of Pittsburg • MotorLab • two four-millimeter-by-four-millimeter electrode arrays into their brain • Algorithm
Training Imagine Record Feedback loop Concentration
Jan Scheuermann • Spinocerebellar degeneration • two quarter-inch square electrode grids with 96 tiny contact points • Neuron firing • Arm wristobjects • One small nibble for a woman, one giant bite for BCI (Brain Controlled Interfaces) • Hector • Amazing Technology
Looking to the Future • Sensory feedback • Wireless control • Problems • Solution
