Sub-cranial EEG sensors

Sub-cranial EEG sensors in direct contact with the brain in order to allow paralysed individuals to direct prosthetic limbs using their mind!
This procedure involves the placement of strips or grids of electrodes directly over the surface of the brain or implantation of depth electrodes directly into brain structures which is helpful for more precisely localizing seizure activity that has been identified with scalp EEG recordings.
The implanted EEG electrodes can also be used to stimulate the brain and map cortical and subcortical neurologic functions, such as motor or language function, eventually allowing paralyzed patients to move their prosthetic limb as if it was their own
