Imagine controlling a robotic arm just by thinking about it. What once sounded like science fiction is now science fact, thanks to the powerful union of artificial intelligence (AI) and neuroprosthetics.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and neuroprosthetics are two rapidly advancing fields that intersect to enhance human capabilities, especially for individuals with neurological impairments.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by computer systems. This includes learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. In the context of neuroprosthetics, AI plays a key role in interpreting neural signals and enabling more intuitive control of prosthetic devices.

NEUROPROSTHETICS

Neuroprosthetics involves the use of devices that can replace or enhance the function of the nervous system. These devices can help restore lost sensory or motor functions through direct interfacing with the nervous system. Common examples include cochlear implants for hearing restoration and robotic limbs controlled by brain signals.

The integration of neuroprosthetics and artificial intelligence (AI) is a groundbreaking development aimed at enhancing the functionality and user experience of assistive devices. Here is an overview of how these two fields converge:

THE INTERSECTION OF AI AND NEUROPROSTHETICS

1. Understanding Neural Signals

• Neural Interfaces: Neuroprosthetics devices typically rely on brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to pick up neural signals. AI algorithms can process these signals, translating them into commands that control prosthetic limbs, for instance.
