China develops brain chip that lets monkeys control robotic arm with their MINDS

Chinese scientists claim to have designed a brain implant that allows a monkey to control a robotic arm using just its mind.

Researchers at?Nankai University shared the announcement on May 5, praising it as a breakthrough that will improve the lives of people with disabilities.

The Brain-computer transforms?electroencephalogram (EEG) signals into the animal's control instructions to navigate the machine with food attached.

'The interventional brain-computer interface developed by Professor Duan Feng's team, through interventional surgery, attaches the interventional EEG sensor to the wall of monkey brain vessels and can collect intracranial EEG signals without craniotomy,' researchers shared in the announcement.

After the operation, the EEG signals were successfully collected and recognized, realizing the animals' active control of the robotic arm.
