 Abstract
 Brain Gate was developed by the bio-tech company
Cyberkinetics in Conjunction with the department of
Neuroscience Brown University
 The device was designed to help those who have lost
control of their limbs or other body function.
 The computer chip which is implanted into the brain,
monitors brain activity in the patient and convert the
intension of the user into computer hands. Currently the
chip used 100 hair-thin electrodes

 INTRODUCTION

A Neuroprosthetic device known as Braingate

converts brain activity into computer commands.
A sensor is implanted on the brain, and electrodes
are hooked up to wires that travel to a pedestal on
the scalp. From there, a fiber optic cable carries
the brain activity data to a nearby computer.

 DESCRIPTION

The Brain Gate™ Neural Interface System is

currently the subject of a pilot clinical trial being
conducted under an Investigational Device
Exemption (LDE) from the FDA
The system is designed to restore functionality for
a limited, immobile group of severely motor-
impaired individuals.

 BRAIN GATE

 Neurons are cells that use a language of electrical

impulses to communicate messages from the brain
to the rest of the body.
 SENSE: In the Brain Gate™ Neural Interface
System, the array is implanted in the area of the
brain responsible for limb movement.

Transmit and Analyze

The human brain is a super computer with

the ability to instantaneously process vast
amounts of information.
It is applied by a Cyber kinetics.

10
BRAINGATE INTERFACE

The 'Brain Gate' device can provide

paralysed or motor-impaired patients a
mode of communication through the
translation of thought into direct computer
control.
Scientists first applied this technology on
monkey with a robotic arm.

 BRAIN GATE

It is the hope of this technology to

translate thought into direct
computer control.
This application include
communications interfaces between
the brain and a computer.

BRAIN-COMPUTER INTERFACE

It is applied on first monkeys then a dogs

then it is implanted in a human body .
After applying it will inhibits a pain to
reduce that pain they carries “A8” & “c”
fibers.

 Brain Tap

In brain tap it connects brain to the

computers & brain will be in
control & patient gaining will be
accuracy.

 OTHER APPLICATIONS
Monkeys have navigated
computer cursors on
screen and commanded
robotic arms to perform
simple tasks simply by
thinking about the task and
without any motor output.
Other research on cats has
decoded visual signals.

 CONCLUSION

A computer could drive a motorized

wheelchair, allowing him to go where he
thinks about going.
It could control his environment - lights,
heat, locking or unlocking doors. And he
could tap out e-mails.
