PMID-18923392[0] Direct control of paralysed muscles by cortical neurons.
- FES BMI: route signals around a broken spinal cord.
- Found that "neurons could control functional stimulation equally well regardless of any prior association to movement". interesting. consistent with previous work. Wonder if I can duplicate this result.
- Another relatively straightforward (?) paper where most of the difficulty is technology (!!). I mean, what new knowledge was needed to do this? Compare this with the technology that was needed. One of these was very challenging. now, as it come in for my stuff: what does technology let you do? Have to motivate.
