The Emerging World of Motor Neuroprosthetics (original) (raw)

Motor neuroprosthetics, also known as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), represent a transformative advancement in assistive technology for individuals with motor impairments. These devices decode brain signals to control external systems, offering hope to patients with conditions such as spinal cord injuries, strokes, and amputations. The integration of neuroscience, engineering, and computer technology is pushing the boundaries of clinical applications in neuroprosthetics, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of their operational principles and surgical considerations for effective implementation.
