The BrainGate team now claims to have achieved this with its latest system, which it says is the first device to transmit the full spectrum of signals recorded by an intracortical sensor.

The Braingate device picks up non-verbal commands, allowing a person to e-chat, stream music, surf the web, and even play a virtual piano.

The BrainGate team is also engaged in research toward control of advanced prosthetic limbs and toward direct intracortical control of functional electrical stimulation devices for people with ...

Their work led to an ongoing effort to create the BrainGate brain-computer interface, designed to allow clinical trial participants with paralysis to control assistive devices like computers or ...

He also recently won a 2004 Discover Magazine Innovation Award. The interest is due to a device called BrainGate that Donoghue helped develop, which allows people who are paralyzed to be more ...

but BrainGate is one of the first aimed at motor restoration in users affected by neurodegenerative disorders and spinal cord injuries. Researchers have spent years working through the device’s ...
