People with severe paralysis are now using implanted brain chips to move robotic arms using nothing but their thoughts, turning a long promised vision of brain computer interfaces into a visible, ...

Neuralink’s brain chip, which converts brain signals into Bluetooth-based remote commands, grabbed headlines last year for enabling its first human user to control a laptop and play computer games.

A new development in affordable, open-source mobile networks that enables near-real-time control of robotic arms could help doctors work on patients in remote locations in the years to come.
