Neuroprosthetic Algorithm Leads To Better Thought Controlled Objects Such As Bionic Arms and Legs

Objects that can be moved simply by thinking about it is part of a branch of science called neuroprosthetics. A new algorithm called ReFIT, now improved the speed and accuracy of neuroprosthetic devices and can lead to the development of better bionic arms and legs.

The Motor system of the human body responsible for movement is controlled by the brain. Hand and body movements first come out as thought impulses that travel down the nervous system which in turn activates the specific muscles to initiate movement.

Basically, all movements by the body are thought controlled. Picking up a spoon, moving and clicking a computer mouse, or even typing on the keyboard are movements that primarily originate as thought patterns in the brain.
