FOXBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:CYKN) (Cyberkinetics) announced that John P. Donoghue, Ph.D., Cyberkinetics’ Chief Scientific Officer, presented preliminary findings from three participants in Cyberkinetics’ pilot trial of the BrainGate Neural Interface System (BrainGate) at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Donoghue provided preliminary scientific results related to one of the participants who is unable to move or speak due to a brainstem stroke. This participant was able to achieve BrainGate-enabled control of a communication device and to demonstrate the initial proof-of-concept of the ability to remotely operate a wheelchair using her thoughts. In addition, Dr. Donoghue reported that significant progress has been achieved in the development of neural signal-control filters that improve the speed and accuracy of the participant’s cursor control.
