China Develops Revolutionary Brain-Computer Interface Technology to Control Robotics with Thoughts

In China, a new brain implant has been developed that allows a monkey to control a robotic arm with its thoughts. This high-performance brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is based on a chip called Neucyber, developed independently by Chinese scientists.

The Neucyber chip consists of three components: high-capacity flexible microelectrodes, two high-speed neural signal acquisition devices, and a generative neural decoding algorithm. This technology captures subtle changes in the brain’s electrical signals, decodes brain intentions, and achieves control over actions through thoughts, allowing the control of machines without physical contact.

The implantable electrodes made from flexible materials reduce damage to the brain and ensure long-term stable signal acquisition. Experts report that the flexible electrode implanted in a monkey’s skull has been stable for nearly a year and continues to provide high-quality signals.

This development offers hope for paralyzed individuals to potentially regain the ability to touch and grasp objects in the physical world in the future. The technology could have significant implications for individuals with disabilities and could revolutionize the way we interact with machines and technology.
