ReFIT Algorithm Improves Speed and Accuracy of Neural Prosthetics that Control Computer Cursors

When a paralyzed person imagines moving a limb, cells in the part of the brain that controls movement still activate as if trying to make the immobile limb work again. Despite neurological injury or disease that has severed the pathway between brain and muscle, the region where the signals originate remains intact and functional.
