John Donoghue, the Henry Merritt Wriston Professor and director of the Brain Science Program, is among the scientists featured in several streaming videos about advances in brain-machine interfaces. The videos are companion pieces to the July 13 cover story of the scientific journal Nature.

A paralyzed man with a small sensor implanted in his brain was able to control a computer, a television and a robot using only his thoughts, scientists reported. “If your brain can do it, we can tap into it,’’ said Professor John P. Donoghue, who led the development of the system and was the senior author of the report published in the journal Nature. This article appeared in newspapers and on Web sites around the world.

With the aid of electrodes implanted in his brain, a man paralyzed from the neck down was able to move a computer cursor, open e-mail, turn on a TV set - merely by imagining them. The patient uses a system developed by scientists at Brown University, who say it is just a few years away from commercial use. This article appeared in dozens of other newspapers and on Web sites around the country.

A paralyzed man using a new brain sensor has been able to move a computer cursor, open e-mail and control a robotic device simply by thinking about doing it, a team of scientists has reported. “This is the dawn of major neurotechnology, where the ability to take signals out of the brain has taken a big step forward,” said John Donoghue, the Brown University professor who led the research team that worked on the sensor.

A man paralysed from the neck down has learned to move a computer cursor and an artificial arm by the power of thought alone. The brain implant that has allowed him to do so was developed by a team of researchers led by Professor John Donoghue. The implant could be used eventually to control wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs. The first detailed scientific report on the case was published June 13 in the journal Nature. This articles appeared in numerous media outlets throughout the United Kingdom.

The accomplishments of a paralyzed man who used a brain implant to play video games and control a robotic arm are described in a cover story in the July 13 issue of the British science journal Nature. The article is an account of a nine-month experiment conducted near Boston by researchers from Brown University and their Massachusetts company developing technology linking the brain to computers.

Aided by a tiny chip implanted in his brain, a 25-year-old quadriplegic played video games, controlled a television and operated a mechanical arm using only his thoughts, researchers reported in the July 13 edition of the journal Nature. The technology, developed by a research team led by Professor John Donoghue, is the latest step toward enabling people paralyzed by stroke, spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, to control their wheelchairs or feed themselves simply by thinking about those actions.

With a tiny electronic chip implanted in the motor cortex of his brain, a 25-year-old man paralyzed from the neck down for five years has learned to use his thoughts to operate a computer, turn on a TV set, open e-mail, play a video game and manipulate a robotic arm – the first successful steps toward using the mind to directly control machines. The system used by the patient was developed by scientists at Brown University, who reported the results in the July 13 issue of the journal Nature.
