INTRODUCTION
Also known as “The Brain Gate Neural
Interface System”
It is based on technology :
- to sense
- to transmit
- to analyze and
- to apply the lang. of neurons
Principle & Operation behind this is intact
brain function
- through “Brain Gate Pathway”
 NEW TECHNOLOGY TO BE IMPLANTED TO HUMAN BODY

 Computer and Human Body to be “MERGED” (BCI)

 May be instead of using our mind the computer will
think for you
 This is done by using a new technology
called “BRAIN GATE TECHNOLOGY”
 This technology is used to control the computer or TV
with thoughts
 BRAINGATE TECHNOLOGY

Introduced by “AMERICAN COMPANY

CYBERKINETICS”

It is mainly designed to take advantage of the

many patients
Brain gate system allows to create an output
signal from the patients brain
The signal from the brain is passing route through
the nerves
The signal passed by nerves is given to sensor
which located in brain
 BRAINGATE TECHNOLOGY

Components:
Brain gate implant
Brain gate cable
Assembly
Brain gate Cart
Neural Sensor
Decoder
 BRAINGATE PROCESS

The sensor is placed on the surface of

the brain in motor cortex area that
controls the movement
The paristo is attach to skull
It receives the electric signals from
the sensor
 BRAINGATE PROCESS

A cable connects sensor to an external

signal processor in cart that contains
computer.

The computer translate brain activity and

create communication output using custom
decoding software
BRAINGATE TECHNOLOGY FIRST
DEMONSTRATED ON
Phillip Kennedy conducted first experiment
on brain gate system.
He conduct his experiment on monkey i.e
operating a robotic arm with BCI
 BRAINGATE TECHNOLOGY FOR MAN

William Dobell conducted his experiment

on human being(Nagle) of BCI
 ADVANTAGES

It is used in military application

and clinical purpose
It is flexible and faster
Patients can communicate with the outside
world and control external devices like:
1. computer
2.televison

3.electrical
 BRAINGATE TECHNOLOGY

Cost:

It is highly cost
Performance:
Very fast
Highly
complicated
 CONCLUSION

This technology is far from being an option

for the public .
But something similar will must definitely
be available in future
 FUTURE IMPLICATIONS:

We can have a robot completely controlled by

the thoughts & can do any work obviously
very much effectively.
There won’t be any masterminds like
astrophysics “Stephen hawking” paralyzed.
It can be a boon not only to the paralyzed persons
but
also to the entire humanity.
