Emails and computer games with the power of thought

A small chip the size of a pill that communicates with hundreds of nerve cells at a time, and was implanted in the brain of a paralyzed man, allowing him to check emails and play computer games using only his thoughts

A small pill-sized chip implanted in the brain of a paralyzed man allowed him to check emails and play computer games using only his thoughts, the magazine "Nature" reports. The chip in question can communicate with hundreds of nerve cells at the same time, and is the most sophisticated and complex chip ever tested on humans. The team responsible intends to soon implant similar chips in four more people.

exercise less muscles
Many paralyzed people are able to operate a computer using their eyes or tongue. For this purpose, they massively activate their muscles and are required to do a lot of training. For decades, scientists have tried to find an optimal way, mentally, so that paralyzed people can exert less physical effort.
The chip called "BrainGate" was developed by a cybernetics company located in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The brain gate allowed a person to control a computer or television with their mind, even while doing other things at the same time such as talking or moving their head.

conductive skull screw
By the way, already in June 2004, brain surgeons implanted a chip containing 100 electrodes into the motor cortex of a 24-year-old paralyzed man. Each electrode was connected to a nerve cell in the man's brain. At the same time, another group of scientists is developing a device that can read brain activity without touching nerve cells.
The company "Neural Signals" (Neural Signals) from Atlanta is developing a patent, loosely translated "conductive skull screw" that sits outside the brain, right under the skull. Other researchers are working on other non-invasive devices, which will allow a kind of mind reading, but the developers of "Brain Gate" claim that these technologies will only allow illustrating a general picture of what is happening in a person's mind.
