Mind-Controlled Device Allows Use of Paralyzed Hands after Stroke
From: R&D Magazine - 05/30/2017

Stroke patients are now able to use brain power to open and close a device
fitted over their paralyzed hands thanks to a new brain-computer interface.

Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have
developed the device that allow participants to train the uninjured parts of
their brains to take over the functions previously performed by the injured
areas.

The device - called the Ipsihand - is comprised of a cap that contains
electrodes to detect electrical signals in the brain, a computer that
amplifies the signals and a movable brace that fits over the paralyzed hand.

The device is able to detect the wearer’s intention to open or close the
paralyzed hand and moves the hand in a pincer-like grip, with the second and
third fingers bending to meet the thumb.
