On its own, the device locates the target area to do its work. The task might involve deep brain stimulation therapy for a patient with Parkinson's disease. Or it might include powering the robotic arm of a person who has lost limb control. These kinds of moveable brain implants are not science fiction. They are being developed by scientists in ASU's Neural Microsystems Laboratory. <i>--by Melissa Crytzer-Fry</i></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/brain-implants-future-918">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/brain-implants-future-918#comments Bioengineering Jit Muthuswamy Neural Microsystems Laboratory Research Magazine Tempe campus Health and Medical Thu, 03 May 2007 15:44:09 -0600 pkrecker 918 at http://researchstories.asu.edu
