This technology allows us to dispense with a specialized team for preparation, which is a lengthy and tedious process,\u201d said Professor Satyam Kumar from the Department of Electrical Engineering.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The scientists highlighted another advantage of their interface\u2014its non-invasiveness. Patients wear a cap with electrodes connected to a computer. The interface collects data by measuring the brain&#8217;s electrical signals, and a decoder interprets this information, translating it into actions on a monitor.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jr3BZb-vxO4?si=XirdjSSGNn3xZ6JO\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>During tests, subjects completed two tasks of varying difficulty: playing a car racing video game and adjusting balance on a digital scale.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers described the work as foundational, as it lays the groundwork for further innovations in brain-computer interfaces.<\/p>\n<p>The team announced their next invention: a wheelchair that users can control using brain electrical signals.<\/p>\n<p>Back in March, a person with a Neuralink-implanted chip <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/neuralink-chip-enables-patient-to-control-computer-with-thoughts\">demonstrated<\/a> its capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineers from the University of Austin, Texas, have unveiled a brain-computer interface designed to enhance the lives of individuals with motor impairments.
