A The experiment was carried out on Thursday in Beijing, by a team led by Professor Duan Feng, from Nankai University, in collaboration with the General Hospital of the People’s Liberation Army of China and Shanghai HeartCare Medical Technology, a company dedicated to the development of neurology medical devices, state news agency Xinhua reported today.
The researchers implanted a device to record the brain waves generated by the activity of nerve cells, through electrodes, in the cerebrovascular wall of a monkey through a minimally invasive surgery.
Using electroencephalogram (EEG) signals extracted from the monkey’s brain, they were able to get the monkey to actively control a mechanical arm.
According to Professor Duan, this experiment represents a breakthrough in brain science research and Chinese technologies of EEG signals, which have gone from passive to active. On the other hand, it also represents innovations in the collection of EEG in blood vessels and in the interventional identification of this process.
