Researchers at UC Davis have created an advanced brain-computer interface that can allow people with severe paralysis to communicate, work and interact with the digital world. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, a team of scientists at the University of California, Davis detailed a years-long study of a brain-computer interface (BCI) that has been equipped with “advanced decoding algorithms that translate neural signals into text and enable cursor control,” as stated in a press release shared by UC Davis Health. This means that the user can fully interact with a personal computer without the need for researcher support.
