An article explaining parts of their result: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-11-movements-brains.html

The implication for the use of this technology in the treatment of stroke and rehabilitation:

> "The spatial specificity of the impacts achieved with BCI could be used to target those areas of the brain affected by strokes," explains Professor Arno Villringer, director of the neurology department at the MPI for Human Cognition and Brain Sciences. "Machine learning processes serve to decode or translate BCI activities into control signals," adds Professor Klaus-Robert Müller, professor of machine learning. "This is the only way to convert individual BCI activities into control signals without lengthy training periods. This customized reading of the BCI will be decisive in determining whether the technology can be used in rehabilitation systems in the future."

Really cool stuff. I'm picturing a future where humans achieve so much more due to a never depleting neuro-plasticity.

Possibilities are endless.

Imagine when over-controlling parents, communities or governments figure how to use state of the art BCI feedback.

Youth re-education camps around the world will make good students, athletes, citizens, "tame child-creatures", soldiers, jihadists, missionaries, Christians, communists and worker-consumers and assembly line workers around the clock.
