What researchers observed
The study used AI to accurately decode 3D arm movements from EEG brain signals in motor imagery tasks.
What this could mean
This could help researchers better track and study brain signals linked to movement and improve future neuroprosthetic research. If validated further, it may point toward using brain signals for fine motor control in assistive devices.
What researchers still need to learn
Researchers still need to learn whether this approach helps people control prosthetics outside the lab.
