BRAIN CHIP
Brain Gate offers the possibility of hitherto unimaginable levels of
independence for the severely disabled. Although many are able to control computers
with their eyes or tongue such techniques remain dependent on muscular function and
require extensive training. The ultimate goal is to develop the Brain Gate System so
that it can be linked to many useful devices, “said Donoghuc, who this month
received an innovation award from Discover Magazine for his work on Brain Gate. “
I his includes medical devices such as muscle stimulators, to give the physically
disabled a significant improvement in their ability to interact with the world.” The
four-millimeter square chip, which is placed on the surface of the motor cortex area
of the brain, contains 100 electrodes each thinner than a hair which detect neural
electrical activity. The sensor is then connected to a computer via a small wire
attached to a pedestal mounted on the skull. “We now have early evidence that a
person unable to move their arms hands and legs can quickly gain control of a system
which uses thoughts to control a computer and perform meaningful tasks. With
additional development this may represent a significant breakthrough for people with
severe disabilities”. They have a research participant who is capable of controlling his
environment by thought alone-something we have only found in science fiction so
far,” said triehs. They hope that the trial will continue as successfully as it has started
and that all other candidates will have as great an experience as our first candidate
did.”
