2. OVERVIEW OF BRAIN CHIPS
• Introduction
• Evolution
• Future of Brain chips
• Potential problems
• References
3. INTRODUCTION
• As Technologies advanced, what will the future hold?
• Researchers are working on a device that can be
controlled using our thoughts.
• However, the future will lie in microchips that can
communicate with our brains through our nerve cells.
5. JOSE DELGADO’S EXPERIMENT
• In 1950 Jose Delgado implanted electrodes in a bull,
and controlled with a stimoceiver.
6. Deep brain
stimulation
• Doctors are able to
treat brain diseases,
By using using deep
brain stimulation.
• Such as Parkinson's
disease and epilepsy.
7. BRAIN CELLS AND SILICON CHIPS FUSSED
• To create the silicon chip researchers squeezed 16,000
electronic transistors and capacitor onto a tiny chip.
• They used special protein in the brain to glue onto the
chip and brain cell.
• It allowed the brain to sent electric signals to the chip.
8. FUTURE
• Researchers are working on a ReNachip, a
programmable computer chip that is responsive to
what's going on in a patients brain.
9. FUTURE CONTINUED..
• Another brain implant aims to help blind regain their
sight. A microchip implanted in the visual cortex, it
would communicate with a camera inside special
glasses.
10. POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
• lab rats sometimes develop cancer around the
microchips.
• Other medical complication included electrical hazards,
MRI incomputable, tissue reaction, and migration of
implanted transponder.
• Security risks, implanted microchips can be easily read
by a third party.
