BrainGate2 Participants Use Thought-Controlled Robotic Arm to Reach and Grasp
In May 2012, researchers in the BrainGate2 clinical trial, led by Leigh Hochberg and colleagues at Massachusetts General Hospital, Brown University, and affiliated institutions, demonstrated that two participants with tetraplegia could use neural signals decoded from a 96-electrode intracortical array to control a robotic arm and perform reach-and-grasp tasks without manual assistance.
