Monkeys with around 300 electrodes implanted in their brains were able to steer avatars around different virtual environments, according to a report from @NewScientist. The electrodes allowed the animals to control the avatars' movements within these simulated spaces. This capability demonstrates potential applications for brain-computer interfaces in navigation and control tasks.
Further details on the study's methodology or outcomes were not provided in the report.
