Chinese scientists succeed in implanting a computer into the brain of primates

Chinese scientists connect computer and primate brain to manipulate mechanical arm

Chinese scientists have managed to connect the computer and the brain of a primate. The experiment was conducted by researchers at Nankai University in Tianjin. To do this, they took not great apes. The Xinhua news agency reports on the experiment.

Thanks to the resulting synthesis of the computer and the brain, scientists were able to fix the work of the central part of the nervous system. Pulses allow you to control a mechanical arm.

The experts clarified that they used the interventional method during the operation. This is a minimally invasive intervention. Access to the required place goes through the vessels and is controlled using angiographic equipment. This allowed scientists to balance safety and conduct the necessary research.
