In a groundbreaking trial on the Chinese mainland, a medical team successfully implanted an invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) in a patient who lost all four limbs. This revolutionary procedure now allows him to play video games using just his mind! 🎮
Conducted at the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, this milestone makes the Chinese mainland the second region in the world, after the United States, to advance invasive BCI technology into clinical trials.
The patient, who lost his limbs in a high-voltage accident 13 years ago, began mastering video-game controls within just two to three weeks of training with the BCI implant. This innovative system decodes electrical signals from the brain into digital commands, bridging the gap between thoughts and technology. It's a true game-changer in enhancing quality of life and propelling medical science forward! 🤯
