Final
fact check of the day: one side of your brain can control the same side of your body.
You may have heard that the motor cortex on side of your brain controls the opposite side of your body; it’s true. But for years researchers have also known that those signals show up on the same side as well.
They’ve even created a therapy around it - a noninvasive brain machine interface called Ipsihand. Following stroke damage, it helps people learn how to tap those same side signals and use them to move. It works via an EEG that reads brain signals and moves a robotic arm cuff to help the user to ‘get it’ through training.
