Brain Gate-Thoughts into actions
introduction
Mind to movement systemNeuro prosthetic deviceBrain gate is brain implant system
developed by CYBER KINETICS in 2003 in conjunction with DEPARTMENT OF NEUROSCIENCE,BROWN UNIVERSITY.
Based on ability to sense,transmit,analyze and apply language of neurons
Brain
The most complex organ The CPU of human body Communication through neurons
Principle
Intact brain neural signals generated
These signals interpreted by the system
Alternate “BrainGate Pathway” provided
Components Chip :
4-millimetre silicon chip 100 electrode sensors Detect electrical signals
Connector:
Establishes connection between chip and converter Mounted on the skull
Converter : Shoe box sized amplifier Signal Optical data thro’ fiber optic cable Computer
Computer: Translates brain activity(thro’ BCI) Uses decoding software
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
Direct communication between brain cell and computer
There are 2 types One way BCI Two way BCI
Based on the position of chip, they are divided into 2 types:
Invasive BCI Non Invasive BCI
Working of BCI
The working of BCI can be explained with following flow chart:
Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages Disadvantages
Controlling remote devices
Accessing internetMotorized wheelchairControl robotic arm
ExpensiveRisky surgery
Future scope
Smaller, wireless deviceThe user will have improved limb
movementsThe user will have ability to
control devices allow breathing, bladder and bowel movements
Conclusion
The enormity of deficits caused by paralysis is strong motivation to pursue BMI solutions
This remarkable breakthrough offers hope that people who are paralyzed will be able to live independent lives
