BrainGate is an implanted device, used in research efforts focused on treating patients with spinal cord injuries or Lou Gehrig's disease. Back in 2012, two paralyzed subjects with BrainGate ...

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 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.

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 ...
