Do drugs help paralyzed patients sync their brainpower to computers?

According to new study, meditation and yoga help paralyzed patients know the ways to link their brain power to computer. As said by author Bin He, director of the centre for Neuroengineering at the University of Minnesota in a society for Neuroscience that, the methods that bond brains with systems are used in a more way in order to help patients who are suffering with physical disabilities. But the period of training has been a huge problem for success. He even said that “This research tells us that we can significantly cut this time with practices like yoga and meditation to make these tools more successful for more patients who need these devices.” It is studied through researches about 12 individuals who performed techniques like meditation and yoga and other 19 people group who did not perform it. All the participants were taught to make use of an electroencephalography based brain computer course in which sensors were used on the scalp to pick electrical impulses from the brain of a person. It is also proved that meditation and yoga techniques help people regain the functions that were lost during disease or injury.
