Brain-Computer Interface Turns Thoughts into Movement

Jonathan Jagid of UM led a surgical procedure to implant a brain-computer interface that will turn thoughts about moving into reality for Miami resident German Aldana, who is paralyzed from the neck down. Jagid has developed the technology into something that can now be used at home with minimal setup.

“Over the past decade, this unique piece of equipment and brain machine interface paradigm were developed with the idea of having a fully implanted device in an individual that can easily be transitioned out of the lab and into the normal everyday environment in order to improve quality of life,” Jagid said.
