Japanese researchers at Osaka University are undergoing research on putting electrode censors to the brain to analyze electrical activity, which can be used to operate mechanical devices. A robotic arm, for example, should be able to move in real time, just as a real human hand moves with just a mind’s thought. The movements will be controlled by sensors that pick up electrical signals from the brain. However, since direct contact with the brain is needed, there is no actual experiment as of the moment. The researchers already filed an application for license with the Osaka University Hospital ethics board.
