Patient successfully controls smart devices with mind in second human trial of China’s BCI

By Deng Xiaoci

The Global Times learned on Wednesday from Shanghai-based Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that, in collaboration with the Fudan University's Huashan Hospital, the center has successfully carried out a second in-human clinical trial of its independently developed invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device. The trial enables a patient with high-level paraplegia to reliably control a smart wheelchair and a robotic dog using brain electrical signals (EEG), achieving autonomous mobility and object retrieval in real-world scenarios.
