Scientist at Duke University have made a wireless brain-machine interface (BMI) that allows monkeys to move the wheelchair with the thoughts. The BMI implant lets the monkey control the wheelchair with high-quality signals. The team of scientist started their experiments in 2012. Two monkeys had a BMI implant and they started moving the wheelchairs in a straight line. The BMI sent signals to a computer and then it sends it to the motor so it can control the motors. The scientist have been keeping their data and recordings of the monkeys for 7 years now.
