Attach the chip to the brain to help people with polio move themselves

British media on June 21 reported that patients with paralysis could one day move on their own thanks to a chip embedded in the brain along with controlled limbs.

British scientists are currently studying and developing a chip just 1cm wide.

When people want to perform a certain movement, the electrode on this chip will quickly receive the impulse signal of the nerve, through data processing techniques to analyze the neural activity of the brain, through That decodes human thoughts.

Eventually this device will transmit information from the brain out, signaling the prosthetic limbs connected to the chip.

According to the analysis of the scientists, the damaged spinal cord patients cannot move four limbs, but their brain is unaffected.

"The patients themselves know what they want to do, only the damaged spinal cord organ damage the signaling system of the brain. If it can be collected and deciphered," said one scientist . These signals, the patient only needs to have a false limb to function normally again. "

Similar chip technology has been tested on monkey bodies, but at the same time using wired transmission equipment through small holes was drilled on the monkey's skull. Obviously this technique is not suitable for people, but not for beauty, and even more likely to cause infection.

Scientists believe that over the next five years, radio chips attached to the human brain will be able to be successfully researched and manufactured. At that time, patients with spinal cord injuries that cause paralysis will expect to resume normal operation.
