Which of the following sets of elements is sufficient to produce an effective brain-machine interface?
A)a computer to generate artificial neuronal activity and a prosthetic limb
B)an electrode array to record neural activity, a robotic arm, and a lever
C)an electrode array to record neural activity, a prosthetic limb, and computer software that can interpret intended actions from neural activity
D)All of the answer options are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An effective brain-machine interface requires the ability to record neural activity and interpret intended actions from that activity in order to control a prosthetic limb. A computer to generate artificial neuronal activity (choice A) would not necessarily be needed, and a lever (choice B) is not a necessary component. Therefore, choice C is the best option as it includes the essential components for an effective brain-machine interface.
