Study reveals noninvasive brain imaging may differentiate among hand gestu
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, discovered a way to identify people's hand movements by reviewing only data from noninvasive brain imaging, rather than information from the hands themselves. The findings represent an early step towards constructing a non-invasive brai
