Two neural prosthetics papers

Friday, September 1st, 2006

The July 13 issue of Nature included some neural prosthetics papers, one of which was the paper reporting 9 months of stimulation of Matthew Nagle, a tetraplegic who received the first trial of the 96-electrode BrainGate implant in his right precentral gyrus (motor cortex (MI) for arm). The authors were Leigh R. Hochberg, Mijail D. Serruya, Gerhard M. Friehs, Jon A. Mukand, Maryam Saleh, Abraham H. Caplan, Almut Branner, David Chen, Richard D. Penn and John P. Donoghue.
