The brain–computer interface allowed the participant to control the drone with six times the accuracy of EEG-based systems.

This innovative development occurred after surgeons implanted the device in the precentral gyrus, the brain region responsible for controlling hand movements. Researchers utilized artificial ...

was achieved by mapping virtual inputs to signals sent by a region of the brain that controls the fingers, the left precentral gyrus, which is where the brain computer interface (BCI) was implanted.

The left precentral gyrus is a brain region responsible for controlling hand movement. They recorded neuronal activities while the participant was observing a virtual hand performing various ...

Five of those brain regions were found to be about 10 percent larger in the athletes than in the non-gymnasts. Those regions include one that has to do with motor function (precentral gyrus ...

Researchers implanted the device in the person’s left precentral gyrus brain region responsible for hand movement control. The device continuously records the electrical activity of nerve cells ...

Willsey et al., Nature Medicine (2025)) In the latest study, published in the journal Nature Medicine, scientists developed a brain implant to enable the participant’s own request to fly a drone.
