A new groundbreaking research in China aiming to help people
who are paralyzed gain more control.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
The Chinese government has identified brain computer interface technology and
devices as a priority area of research in medical trials,
rapidly advancing the field of study. According to the journal Nature,
one deep brain device, which places eight sensors on the
brain surface, helped a paralyzed man regain hand control, allowing
(06:30):
him to eat and drink again. So far, twenty people
have received this implant. Other technology can decode Mandarin speech
in real time, and another device allowed a man with
no limbs to play computer games using only his thoughts.
It's similar to implants being developed by Elon Musk's company Neuralink,
but the Chinese technology has fewer probes and is smaller
(06:53):
and less invasive. The journal Nature says China is well
positioned to become a leader in this space. Sherry Small
