Application of BrainGate System

The BrainGate system allows paralyzed individuals to control external devices like computers using only their thoughts. It works by implanting a sensor into the brain that detects neural signals, even when those signals are not being sent to the limbs. The system interprets these brain signals and uses them to move a computer cursor, offering users an alternative way to control devices just by thinking. One participant in a BrainGate clinical trial, Matthew Nagle, who is paralyzed from the neck down, has been able to use the system to open emails, change TV channels, and control a robotic arm. The BrainGate system provides a new communication pathway for those with motor impairments by directly accessing and interpreting the language of neurons in the brain.
