15、brain-computer interface (BCI) (接口) that picked up neural signals and fed them into an algorithm (算法) which translated them into letters. The secret to the success, and why this particular BCI was able to produce words at such a faster rate than other BCIs in the past, was that it tracked the brain
16、signals of the patient, known as T5, as he imagined writing them down with a pena skill which remains in our motor skill system for years after paralysis.“With this BCI, our study participant achieved typing speeds of 90 characters per minute,” wrote the study group, whose paper can be read in Natur
17、e. “To our knowledge, these typing speeds exceed (超过) those reported for any other BCI, and are comparable to typical smartphone typing speeds of individuals in the age group of our participant.” The study had conducted other trials with different BCIs before, in which they used eye-monitoring equip
