Innovative neuroprosthetic technology called Brain Gate aims to make it possible for people with paralysis or other motor disabilities to operate devices with their thoughts. It functions by utilising a tiny implanted sensor that records neural activity in the brain and converts it into electrical signals that can be used to control exterior gadgets like computers, robotic arms, or even communication equipment. People with paralysis and other motor disabilities have hope that the technology, which has been successfully tested in animal models and has shown promising results in human clinical trials, will help them regain control of their lives. With the help of Brain Gate technology, the field of assistive technology could undergo a revolution, allowing people with impairments to interact with the outside world in previously unimaginable ways. A group of scientists from Massachusetts General Hospital and Brown University have created the Brain Gate technology. The system comprises of a tiny sensor that is inserted into the part of the brain that regulates movement, the motor cortex. The sensor has the ability to recognise electrical impulses produced by the brain's motor neurones and convert those signals into instructions that can be utilised to operate external devices.
