Researchers developed a compact, low-power brain-machine interface (BMI) called MiBMI, designed to enhance communication for individuals with severe motor impairments. The device translates neural activity into text with 91% accuracy, using a highly miniaturized system that processes data in real-time. This innovation opens the door to practical, implantable BMIs, promising significant improvements in quality of life for patients with conditions like ALS and spinal cord injuries.
