Brain-Machine Interface Lets Monkeys Control 2 Virtual Arms (1 of 5)

image: Large-scale brain activity from a rhesus monkey was decoded and used to simultaneously control reaching movements of both arms of a virtual monkey avatar towards spherical objects in virtual reality. This image relates to a paper that appeared in the Nov. 6, 2013, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by Dr. P.J. Ifft at Duke University in Durham, N.C., and colleagues was titled, "A Brain-Machine Interface Enables Bimanual Arm Movements in Monkeys." view more
