Eliciting brain plasticity to keep the body moving

The video discusses research on Parkinson's disease led by Gert Cowenberg at UC San Diego. The team aims to develop new technologies to help patients by understanding brain circuitry and leveraging neural plasticity. Innovations include a dry EEG cap and the use of Bluetooth for data collection. The research also explores the relationship between neural activity and body motion using motion capture and virtual reality. The ultimate goal is to create devices that improve daily activities for patients, contributing to advancements in therapy and rehabilitation.

In what ways are researchers using technology to understand the relationship between neural activity and human motion?

What are the potential benefits of developing smarter prosthetics and activity sensors as mentioned in the text?
