Neuroprosthetics

 

In order to implement a neuroprosthesis also called neural prosthetics, one must be able to detect and record the brain activity involved within the planning, and execution of movement intentions. as an example, once we attempt to grab a cup of coffee, there's brain activity in areas that are important for the execution of coffee-grabbing behavior (i.e. motor areas within the brain). By measuring this brain activity, we are able to relate the intent and therefore the execution of the movement to the activity of the brain. After recording the brain signals, researchers are ready to analyze these signals to detect someone’s intentions then relay these intentions to an external machine or a robot. the most simple recording technology one can use is electroencephalography (EEG). Using electrodes placed on a scalp, a researcher can identify different types of signals and determine which parts of the brain are active.
