The Braingate technology involves implanting a chip the size of an aspirin tablet into the motor cortex region of the brain. The chip contains sensors that detect neural signals and convert them into output signals to control a computer cursor. This allows paralyzed individuals to control devices with just their thoughts. Clinical trials showed patients able to control lights, emails, and prosthetics just by thinking. The technology is being improved to be completely wireless and implantable to help more patients.
