    Brain-Computer Interface - Braingate Chip: Pankaj Pandey Cs-3A

    The BrainGate chip is an invasive brain-computer interface implant developed by Cyberkinetics to help paralyzed patients control external devices with their thoughts. The chip monitors brain activity in the motor cortex through 100 electrodes and translates neural signals into commands to move a computer cursor or prosthetic limb. One recipient, Matthew Nagle, was able to control his computer and a prosthetic hand using the BrainGate chip implanted over his motor cortex in 2004. Cyberkinetics hopes to develop a wireless version of the chip for safer use.

    Brain-Computer Interface BrainGate Chip

    PANKAJ PANDEY CS-3A

    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 information is exchanged between brain and computer

    Two way BCIs

    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

    BrainGate Chip

    I can't put it into words. It's justI 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.

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