Miguel Nicolelis, M.D., Ph.D.: The Brain: An Owner's Guide 2016 | The Center for BrainHealth®

Brain-Machine Interfaces: From Basic Science to Neurological
Neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis, M.D., Ph.D. illustrates how state-of-the-art research on brain-machine interfaces makes it possible for the brain’s thoughts to interact directly with mechanical, computational and virtual devices without any interference of the body muscles or sensory organs. His recent experiments provide us rich clues regarding the fundamental links between brain signals and physical activities, while serving as an experimental paradigm aimed at testing the design of mind-controlled prosthetic devices.
This lecture was filmed as part of the Center for BrainHealth's February lecture series, The Brain: An Owner's Guide, sponsored by The Container Store.
