Paralyzed man controls virtual drone with his mind using brain chip [Video]

A virtual drone piloted only by a man’s thought movements was brought to life through an innovative experiment. The AI model analyzes the man’s brain activity when the individual imagines moving his fingers. In addition, this offers insight into the endless possibilities of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.

In this study, researchers explored the capabilities of BCIs to control complex systems. Unlike earlier work that focused on single inputs, such as controlling a cursor or virtual hand, this study marks a significant leap toward multi-input applications.

“There’s a lot of things that we enjoy or do as humans where we use multiple individuated finger movements, so like typing, sewing, playing …
