A 52-year-old paralyzed woman has controlled a robotic
arm using her thoughts. The arm, developed by scientists at the
University of Pittsburgh, has an unprecedented amount of fine motor
control. The woman manipulates the arm via two sensors that are embedded
in the motor cortex portion of her brain. After just two days of
training, she was able to move the arm using her thoughts. After three
months of use, the woman's task completion rate rose to 91.6 percent.
The robotic arm's level of dexterity and coordination is impressive.
