Description
Summary:The review provides an idea of intense research into neurointerface systems, which record neural activity of the cerebral cortex and decode it using a computer in order to extract the intentions of a person and to use this decoded information to control external devices. The addition of the transfer of artificial “sensory” information to the brain through multichannel coordinated microstimulation of the sensory regions of the cortex enables us to implement a bidirectional brain–computer–brain interface, which offers new opportunities in the field of basic research into the mechanisms of cortical plasticity and effects a breakthrough in applied areas, such as “natural” anthropomorphic control of multidimensional technical devices and motor rehabilitation of patients with severe impairments of the nervous system.
