Previous experiments have had some success using brain sensors connected to computers modified to help paralysis patients write up to eight words a minute, but the current experience is centered on the ## EQU1 ## 39; helps patients with the disease, said Jamie Henderson of the Faculty of Medicine at Stanford University in California. Use of devices data processing Tablet PC and Smartphones without special modifications.
Henderson added in an e-mail: "We may still have years to come up with a device that can be put in place and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to make it available for widespread use. I am convinced that most of the technological obstacles have been removed and we will see in the near future aids allowing paralyzed people to control a computer using only their ideas. "
The trial included only three patients, two with weak legs or unable to move their arms and legs due to lateral sclerosis, while the third patient was paralyzed as a result of An injury to the spine.
Scientists have installed devices the size of an aspirin in a region of the brain called the motor cortex, responsible for planning and conducting voluntary movements.
The device aims to monitor the signals badociated with the desired movements and then transfer them to a Bluetooth-enabled device that is designed to function as a wireless mouse computer connected to a model's tablet PC. "Google Nexus 9" Scholars have not changed it.
With the help of wireless "Mouse" sensor, allows experiment participants to navigate through a device's common programs data processing Including email, chat, music and video.
Patients were also able to send messages to their relatives, friends, and research team members, as well as to each other, as well as to access the Internet, view the weather, and shop electronically.
One of the patients played the piano and managed to play a piece of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
"The participants were able to achieve up to 22 trigger tasks and click by the minute, using different applications," wrote the researchers in the journal PlusOne.
For text applications, participants could write up to 30 characters per minute.
The experiment was conducted by a team of doctors, scientists and engineers.
The team previously indicated that the device used in the current experiment could allow people to move the arms of the mechanism or regain control of the limbs, despite loss of mobility due to injury or illness.
Steven Chase, badociate director of neuroscience at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, said: "What is unique in the experience is that it does not require any modification of tablets but that it can be applied to the same devices as healthy devices. "
Chase, who did not participate in the experiment, said: "This means that it will not be necessary to design special software for users of these devices, which greatly increases the number of applications that these patients will be able to treat. "

"We may still have years to get a device that can be implanted and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration so that it can be used on a large scale, but I'm convinced that most of the technological hurdles have been deleted, "Henderson said in an email.

Using the wireless sensor and mouse, participants in the experiment were able to navigate common programs from one device. data processing Including email, chat, music and video.
