The UW study is based on the concept of closed-loop 'bi-directional brain-computer interfaces' (BBCIs) being developed at the CSNE that can both record from and stimulate the nervous system. They would also allow the brain to directly control prosthetics or other external devices to enhance movement or reanimate paralyzed limbs.
