BrainGate Allows Effortless Remote Control of Robotic Arm
Advantages
- The technology promises many advantages, including but not limited to:
- Controlling remote devices
- Making and receiving phone calls
- Controlling robotic arm
- Using a motorized wheelchair
- Use a PC
- Turning the lights on or off
Components of the Brain Gate Technology
The Neuro-chip
Disadvantage
- 4 mm in size
- A square silicon chip
- Contains around 100 hair-thin microelectrodes
- Embedded in the primary motor cortex of the brain
Components (continued)
The Converter
The Connector
- The signal passed by the connector is received and it is changed to optical data then it is directed to a computer.
- It is where the signal from the cortical
neurons pass through.
- It is very expensive.
- Difficulty in adaptation and learning
- Risky Surgery
- Wireless technology unavailable
- Limitation in information transform rate . The latest technology is 20 bits/min
The Computer
Thank You
- It translates brain activity and communication output through a software.
The Future
- A mind-to-movement system allowing a person to control a computer with his thoughts.
Certain technologies are being developed to make Brain Gate more feasible by making it smaller and wireless.
It is being planned that Brain Gate will provide movement to natural limbs.
There are also plans to make bladder and bowel movement controllable with Brain Gate
- It is designed for people with disabilities, specifically those who are paralyzed or have other physical ailments.
Conclusion
Brain Gate Technology
- BrainGate is a brain implant system
developed by the bio-tech company Cyberkinetics in 2003 with the Department of Neuroscience At Brown University..
Braingate Technology is starting point in the field of robotics and computer technology , it is provides hope for people with disabilities especially those who are paralyzed and unable to move. It gives them a chance to feel that they can move again.
