Zusammenfassung

Brain-machine interfaces provide a way to augment the capabilities of patients with disabilities or to treat neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. Today's brain-machine interfaces are limited by our lack of knowledge about the internal dynamics of neurons and neural networks, yet a couple of successful clinical applications like electrical brain stimulation and neuroprosthetics have already emerged. The process of interfacing with neural tissue, however, is tedious and failure rates are high. They require manual customization and patient training, and are based on models...
