Pardon my relative ignorance on the subject, but couldn't we take an approach in which we attempt to let the brain figure out how to interpret/send signals? I.e. find a way to take advantage of the well-established extreme plasticity of the brain, and let it figure out our interface, rather than the other way around?
- chrisfosterelli 10y agoThere are some cases where plasticity can be useful. For example: if a particular intention is associated with the neural activity while a person lifts their arm, eventually the person can train themselves to trigger the intention just by thinking of lifting their arm (without actually doing it). This is the brain learning to control the intention instead of the action.
