BrainGate

BrainGate is a pioneering technology that allows direct communication between the brain and external devices. It involves a small sensor implanted in the brain that detects neural signals associated with intended movements or thoughts. These signals are transmitted to a computer, which interprets them to control devices like robotic arms, computers, or prosthetics. BrainGate aims to help individuals with paralysis or neurological conditions regain independence and improve quality of life by translating brain activity into actionable commands. It represents a significant step forward in neural interface research and neurotechnology.
