Brain-Machine Interface Controls Multiple Limbs
In a first, rhesus monkeys have learned to control two virtual arms using just their brains.
Previous brain-machine interfaces could control only a single artificial limb, making this a significant step forward in the development of brain-controlled prosthetic limbs for the millions of paralyzed people around the world.
