NeuroLife implant could revolutionize care for spinal cord injury patients.
Tiny chip is implanted in the primary motor cortex of the brain.
Patient thinks deliberately about the movement they want to make
Machine learning algorithms then decode the brain activity.
Neural bypass sends signals to a wearable sleeve.
Sleeve is covered with 260 electrodes that spur the muscles to perform intended action.
