🧠 New study shows a brain implant allows a severely paralyzed individual to communicate and operate a computer independently at home, translating brain signals into text and cursor movements.
🏠 The system, designed for home use, bypasses the need for constant expert supervision with automatically updating software, enabling long-term independent operation.
💬 Participant Casey Harrell, with ALS, communicated over 183,000 sentences and nearly 2 million words using the interface, achieving an average speaking rate of 56 words per minute.
