Sentences with phrase «translates neural signals»

A decoder translates these neural signals into commands that move computer cursors and prosthetic limbs.

But Kennedy collaborator Frank Guenther, associate professor of cognitive and neural systems at Boston University, and his colleague Jonathan Brumberg recently worked out a system that translates neural signals from Ramsey's implant into vocal form via a synthesiser that produces the corresponding sound.

As for those patients whose brains are trapped in inanimate bodies, implants that pick up electrical impulses can already translate neural signals to control a cursor, move a wheelchair, or say hello, although they are not now suitable for people with severe brain injuries.

Not exact matches

By matching her intended movements with their corresponding neural signals, the researchers were able to write a computer code that translated her thoughts into directions for the robotic arm.

A tiny sensor implanted in Nagle's motor cortex reads neural signals associated with arm movement, transmitting them via fiber - optic cable to processors that translate thoughts into actions.

Resulting neural signals from the motor cortex were electronically extracted by the embedded recording devices, transmitted to a computer and translated by Shenoy's algorithms into commands directing a cursor on an onscreen keyboard to participant - specified characters.

The neural signals recorded by the electrodes are transmitted via a cable to a computer where algorithms developed in Shenoy's lab decode the participant's intentions and translate the signals into movements of a computer cursor.

The signals can be localized in the brain and translated into digital images that portray neural activity level as a ratio of oxygenated to de-oxygenated hemoglobin, the iron - containing pigment in red blood cells.

The scientific community has learned a great deal about molecular signals that can support regeneration of damaged neural connections, but there is an urgent need to identify as many pro-regenerative signals as possible because it is not clear which of these might actually translate to use in patients.
