Brain-Controlled Hand Exoskeleton

Brain-Controlled Hand Exoskeleton

Advances in machine learning and neuroscience enable subjects without any prior experience to operate our brain-controlled hand exoskeleton. A brain-machine interface (BMI) records brain signals and detects the subject’s intent to move their hand. The BMI then executes the hand intended movement via the combination of two complementary mechanisms: (i) delivery of small electrical currents to the peripheral nerves that contract the hand muscles, and (ii) activation of the motorized hand exoskeleton.
