BRAIN GATE TECHNOLOGY

Braingate technology

Brain gate technology

y This is a technology

developed for paralyzed and quadriplegic persons. i.e the patients who lost control of their limbs due to spinal cord injury.

Braingate technology

y By using this technology the paralyzed persons can control the cursor of computer, they can move their robotic arm and they can change the channel of television through their thoughts with out other s help. y So this technology is also called as mind to motion technology.

IMPLEMENTATION
y For implementation of

this technology it requires y 1) Computer y 2)Human brain and y 3)An interface chip between computer and brain.

Braingate technology

Interface chip (sensor)

y The interface chip of size 2mmx2mm is implanted in the motor cortex region of human brain. y Generally The control signals generated at brain are sent to neurons. y The interface chip will take those signals from neurons and sent to processor.
Braingate technology

processor
y The processor

(simulator) which is fixed to pedestal will converts the received signal into an electrical signal. y And then sent to computer or robotic arm or powered wheel chair.

BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE

Braingate technology

Interface chip (sensor)

y The interface chip

(sensor) contains an array of 96 hair thin electrodes on it. y These electrodes will help to detect brain cell electrical activity by sensor chip.
