两只脑中植入微型电极的猴子,经过训练后仅仅通过思维就能控制机械手的运动。成功完成这一实验的美国杜克大学科学家表示,他们的成果将来也许能造福于瘫痪病人。负责这项实验的尼科莱利斯博士等人介绍说,电极分别植入这两只雌性恒河猴大脑额叶和顶叶部位,每个电极不到人的一根头发丝粗细。它们发出的微弱电信号通过导线进入 Monkeys implanted with microelectrodes in both brains, after training, can control the movement of the robot only through thinking. Scientists at Duke University who successfully completed the experiment said that their results may benefit patients in the future. Nicolellis, who is in charge of this experiment, and others introduced electrodes implanted in the frontal and parietal lobes of the two female rhesus monkeys, each of which is less than one person’s hair. Their weak electrical signals enter through the wires
