It is fascinating. But looking at this guy condition, playing games would be IMHO not the prio. I would hook up the remote controlling to a robotic exoskeleton, for just be back and function normal. I guess that also can be detected ( intention to move feet or hands in any direction ).
But let's see, we are really at the beginning.
- justrealist 3y agoWell I don't think those exoskeletons even really exist yet. So baby steps.
- Firaxus 3y agoOf course, but that’s going to take so much more time and effort. You can see how much joy this man is in just having the autonomy to move a mouse again. That’s honestly amazing.
- modeless 3y agoI don't think it can simultaneously control the dozens of degrees of freedom that a robot would have. Yet. You only need three degrees of freedom for a mouse with button. That alone is transformational for a quadriplegic.
- logtempo 3y agothere is good works done in this article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06094-5 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06094-5 https://www.cea.fr/english/Pages/News/brain-computer-interface-enables-thought-controlled-walking-after-spinal-cord-injury.aspx https://www.cea.fr/english/Pages/News/brain-computer-interfa...
- timschmidt 3y agoBetter than an exoskeleton is a second implant below his C4/5 to reconnect his spinal chord with his brain via wifi.
- johnsimer 3y agoThat is very likely neuralink’s plan IIRC they are doing that test in pigs right now
- DoesntMatter22 3y agoNeurolink has already said that this is the plan. This is one of the first steps. They are solving the easiest things first of course
- wilg 3y agoYour idea is that the priority should have been, instead of first getting a mouse working on his laptop, to hook him up to some kind of robotic exoskeleton?
