Brain–computer interface control with artificial intelligence copilots - Nature Machine Intelligence AI copilots are integrated into brain–computer interfaces, enabling a paralysed participant to achieve improved control of computer cursors and robotic arms. This shared autonomy approach offers a promising path to increase BCI performance and clinical viability.

A brain-computer interface co-piloted by AI improved how a person with paralysis complete tasks, such as moving a computer cursor or operating a robotic arm, by up to four times, according to research in @natmachintell.nature.com: spklr.io/63322BHjsK
