The document discusses Brain Gate, which is an electrode chip that can be implanted in the brain to allow communication between brain signals and external devices. It works by detecting electrical signals from the brain during imagined movements and transmitting them to decoding software. The goal is to provide paralyzed patients with computer and device control through thought alone. Early successful tests were conducted with monkeys and then humans. While promising, challenges remain around improving information transfer rates, adaptation, and reducing costs.

Braingate is an electrode chip which can be implemented in the brain. When it is implemented in brain, the electrical signal exchanged by neurons within the brain. Those signals are sent to the brain and it executes body movement. All the signalling process is handled by special software. The signal sends to the computer and then the computer is controlled by patient.
The mind-to-movement system that allows a quadriplegic man to control a computer using only his thoughts is a scientific milestone. It was reached, in large part, through the brain gate system. This system has become a boon to the paralyzed. The Brain Gate System is based on Cyber kinetics platform technology to sense, transmit, analyze and apply the language of neurons. The principle of operation behind the Brain Gate System is that with intact brain function, brain signals are generated even though they are not sent to the arms, hands and legs.The signals are interpreted and translated into cursor movements, offering the user an alternate Brain Gate pathway to control a computer with thought,just as individuals who have the ability to move their hands use a mouse. The 'Brain Gate' contains tiny spikes that will extend down about one millimetre into the brain after being implanted beneath the skull,monitoring the activity from a small group of neurons.It will now be possible for a patient with spinal cord injury to produce brain signals that relay the intention of moving the paralyzed limbs,as signals to an implanted sensor,which is then output as electronic impulses. These impulses enable the user to operate mechanical devices with the help of a computer cursor. Matthew Nagle,a 25-year-old Massachusetts man with a severe spinal cord injury,has been paralyzed from the neck down since 2001.After taking part in a clinical trial of this system,he has opened e-mail,switched TV channels,turned on lights

BRAIN GATE TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION:
Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a fast-growing emergent technology, in which researchers aim to build a direct channel between the human brain and the computer.
It is abbreviated as BCI.
DEFINATION:
Brain Gate Technology is a ‘brain-computer interface’ that uses internal neural signal sensor and external processors to convert neural signals into an output signal under the users own control.
This system that allows a quadriplegic man to control a computer using his Thoughts.
Brain Gate is a brain implant system developed by the bio-tech company “Cyber kinetics” in 2003 in conjunction with the Department of Neuroscience at Brown University.
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
• The Brain computer interface that consist of an Inter neural signal sensor and External Processors.
• When a work is done through any part of body then a potential difference is created in the brain. This potential difference is captured by the Sensor.
• The sensor is implanted on the surface of brain in the motor cortex area that controls our movement.
• The sensor consists of a silicon array about the size of small Aspirin tablet that contain about 100 electrodes each thinner than a human hair that detect brain cell electrical activity.
• Brain electrical activity transmitted via fiber optic to the external processor (call Digitizer) convert neural signals into an output signal under the users own control.
• The computers translate brain activity and create the communication output using custom decoding software.
TYPES 1: Brain Computer interface is of three types based on its features
1-Invasive BCI: Invasive BCIs are implanted directly into the grey matter of the brain during neurosurgery and has the highest quality signals
-provide functionality to paralyzed people.
2-Non Invasive BCI: Non-Invasive BCIs do not involve neurosurgery. They are just like wearable virtual reality devices.
3-Partially Invasive BCI: Partially invasive BCI devices are implanted inside the skull but rest outside the brain rather than within the grey matter.
-gives a patient the ability to move muscle implants and restore partial movement.
Based on the communicative Pathway BCI is classified as follows
One Way BCI: Computers either accept commands from the brain or send signals to it (for example, to restore vision) but not both.
Two Way BCI: Brains and external devices can exchange information in both directions but have yet to be successfully implanted in animals or humans.
APPLICATION:
1. Bionic Eye: Bionic eye is an experimental visual device which will help blind people to see what they want to see.
2. Honda Asimo Control: Honda's Asimo is a robot. Anyone can control its simply by thinking.
-Kevin Warwick – The First Human Cyborg
Gaming Control: Gaming control using a wearable and wireless EEG-based brain-computer interface device with novel dry
The goal of the Brain Gate program is to develop a fast and reliable connection between the brain of a severely disabled person and a personal computer .
The ‘Brain Gate’ device can provide paralyzed or motor-impaired patients a mode of communication through the translation of thought into direct computer control
This is the seminar presentation on brain gate which i represented in my college in final year for degree. This is the technology under development and have successfull result on human as well as animals. This technology is boon for physically disabled and paralysed person.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. What is Brain Gate/Brain Machine Interface/Brain
Computer Interface???
Brain gate is an electrode chip which can
be implemented in the brain. When it is
implemented in brain, the electrical signal
exchanged by neurons within the brain.
Those signals are sent to the brain and it
executes body movement. All the signaling
process is handled by special software. The
signal sends to the computer and then the
computer is controlled by patient.
Whenever a man forgotten about
his past due to certain accidental matter or
he had lost his part of his body, at that time
this electrode chip can be implemented on
his brain and active the man as well.
4. Objective of Brain Gate !!!!
The goal of the Brain Gate program is to
develop a fast and reliable connection between
the brain of a severely disabled person and a
personal computer . The ‘Brain Gate’ device can
provide paralysed or motor-impaired patients a
mode of communication through the translation
of thought into direct computer control.
5. Types of Brain Computer Interface(BCI) :
One way BCI
Computers either accept commands from the brain
or send signals to it
Two way BCI
Allow brains and external devices to exchange
information in both directions.
6. History of Brain Gate…
Research
on BCIs has been going on for
more than 30 years, but from the mid-1990s
there has been a dramatic increase in working
experimental implants.
Brain gate was developed by the bio-tech
company Cyberkinetics in 2003 in conjuction
with the Department of Neuroscience at
Brown University.
7. Brain Gate Research in animals:
At first, rats were
implanted with BCI .
Signals recorded from
the cerebral cortex of rat
to operate BCI to carry
out the movement.
8. Researchers at the University
of Pittsburgh had demonstarted
on a monkey that can feed
itself with a robotic arm simply
by using signals from its brain.
9. It Worked!
Using only its mind the monkey was able to
control a cursor on a computer monitor via
Brain Gate.
10. Since there were no
complications in trials with
monkeys
Next Step: Humans!
11.
In December 7, 2004, brain-computer interface had been
clinically tested on a human by an American company
Cyberkinetics.
The Nature report describes the first participant in these
trials, a 25-year-old man who had sustained a spinal cord
injury leading to paralysis in all four limbs three years prior
to the study.
Over a period of nine months, he took part in 57 sessions
during which the implanted Brain Gate sensor recorded
activity in his motor cortex while he imagined moving his
paralyzed limbs and then used that imagined motion for
several computer-based tasks such as, moving a computer
cursor to open simulated e-mail, draw circular shapes and
play simple video games.
12. PRINCIPLE:
The system consists of a sensor that is
implanted on the motor cortex of the
brain (Pedestal) and a Brain Gate Neural
Interface Device that analyzes the brain
signal.
The principle is that the intact
brain functions, brain signals are
generated even though they are not sent
to the arms,hands and legs.The signals
are interpreted and translated into cursor
movements,offering the user an
alternate”BRAIN GATE PATHWAY”
to control a computer with thought,just
as individuals who have the ability to
move their hands.
14. The Brain Gate sensor (Red arrow), resting on a US
penny,connected by a 13-cm ribbon cable to the Pedestal
(Black arrow), which is secured to the skull. Neural signals
are recorded while the pedestal is connected to the
remainder of the Brain Gate system
15.
This is one of electrode implemented in brain.
Individual electrodes are 1-mm long and spaced 400m apart, in a 10x10 grid.
The electrical signal exchanged by neurons within brain. Those signals are sent when the
brain executes a body movement.
16. Software behind Brain Gate…
The computers translate
brain activity and create the
communication output using
custom decoding software.
System uses adaptive
algorithms and patternmatching techniques to
facilitate communication.
The algorithms are written
in C, JAVA and MATLAB.
17. APPLICATIONS:
In Foxborough, a 25year-old quadriplegic sits
in a wheelchair with
wires coming out of a
bottle-cap-size connector
stuck in his skull. The
wires run from 100 tiny
sensors implanted in his
brain and out to a
computer. Using just his
thoughts, he was playing
the computer game Pong.
18. APPLICATIONS:
In
classification of EEG signal.
In multimedia communication.
In evaluation of spike detection algorithms.
Actuated control of mobile robot by human
EEG.
As a brain controlled switch for asynchronous
control.
In evaluating the machine learning algorithms.
19. Challenges faced by Brain Gate…
i. It is very expensive.
ii.Limitation in information transform
rate. The latest technology is 20
bits/min.
iii. Difficulty in adaptation and
learning.
21. CONCLUSION
According to the Cyberkinetics' website, two patients have been implanted
with the Brain Gate system.
Using the system, called Brain Gate, the patient can read e-mail, play video
games, turn lights on or off and change channels or adjust the volume of a
television set.
In early test sessions, the patient was able to control the TV and carry on a
conversation and move his head at the same time.
The results are spectacular and almost unbelievable.
Brain Gate can help paralyzed people move by controlling their own electric
wheelchairs, communicate by using e-mail and Internet-based phone systems,
and be independent by controlling items such as televisions and thermostats.
Finally BRAIN GATE has proved to be a boon for paralyzed patient .
