    The BrainGate chip is an invasive brain-computer interface implant developed by Cyberkinetics to help paralyzed individuals control devices. It has 100 electrodes implanted on the brain's motor cortex to detect neural signals, which are translated into commands to move a cursor or prosthetic. In trials, participant Matthew Nagle was able to control a computer and prosthetic hand using only his thoughts detected by the BrainGate chip implanted in his brain. Cyberkinetics hopes to refine the chip to be wireless in the next two years.

    COMP 4640
    Brain-Computer Interface
    (BCI)

    BCI – direct communication pathway between
    a brain or brain cell culture and a device
    (computer)

    One way BCIs

    information passes from brain to computer or
    computer to brain

    Two way BCIs

    information is exchanged between brain and
    computer
    Invasive BCI

    Invasive BCI – the chip is implanted directly
    into the grey matter of the brain

    produces the highest quality signals but are
    prone to scar tissue buildup

    Scar tissue causes the signal to become weaker
    and even lost as the body reacts to a foreign object
    BrainGate Chip

    Chip implant system
    developed by
    Cyberkinetics in 2003

    Designed to help those
    who have lost control
    of their limbs or other
    bodily functions
    BrainGate Chip

    Monitors brain activity
    in the patient and
    converts the intention
    of the user into
    computer commands

    This can be used to
    control a robot arm or a
    cursor on a screen
    BrainGate Chip

    100 hair thin electrodes to sense the electro-magnetic
    signature of neurons firing in specific areas of the
    brain
    BrainGate Chip

    Chip is implanted on
    the surface of the brain
    in the motor cortex
    area, the area that
    controls movement
    BrainGate Chip

    Monitored signature is
    translated into
    electrically charged
    signals

    Signals are then sent
    and decoded using a
    program to move
    cursor, robot arm, etc.
    BrainGate Chip

    Only a few people have been implanted so far
    during clinical trials

    One is Matthew Nagle, a quadriplegic
    paralyzed from the neck down

    The device was implanted in 2004 over the
    portion of the motor cortex that controled his
    left hand and arm
    Matthew Nagle

    Using the BrainGate system, Matt could
    control a cursor on a computer screen

    Control TV

    Check e-mail

    Draw on screen

    He could also send commands to an external
    prosthetic hand

    Open

    Close
    BrainGate Chip


    “I can't put it into words. It's just—I use my
    brain. I just thought it. I said, "Cursor go up to
    the top right." And it did, and now I can
    control it all over the screen. It will give me a
    sense of independence.”

    Matt Nagle
    BrainGate Chip

    In the next two years, Cyberkinetics hopes to
    refine the chip to develop a wireless version

    No need for a plug

    Safer

    Less visible
