Amputees and BCIs
I noticed that a lot of prosthetics right now are not really great for especially like trans-humeral amputees so I wanted to develop a prosthetic that could be deployed sooner. what researchers are doing now is inter-cortical BCIs which is what Neuralink is right so they embed it within your brain like an implant for example and then while it's inside of your brain they can connect. They collect high fidelity signals because you know it's in closer proximity to what's happening in your brain so therefore the signals are better and then they can manipulate a variety of things. So yeah I'm working on building that prosthetic just got some IRB approvals to do some testing
