Both papers report the development of electronic brain implants, called neuroprostheses, that can translate the intention to move into the actual movement of a robotic device, or of a cursor on a computer screen. The hope is to give paralysed patients greater ability to interact with their environments and perhaps, ultimately, to bypass damaged spinal cords and restore movement to lifeless limbs.
