	The primary function of BrainGate is to restore communication and mobility to individuals with severe motor impairments. By translating neural activity into digital commands, users can interact with their environment in ways that were previously impossible. For example, a person with quadriplegia can use BrainGate to operate a computer, communicate via email, or control a wheelchair.

+== Future Developments ==
+Research and development of the BrainGate system continue to advance. Future improvements may include wireless transmission of neural signals, increased electrode density for more precise control, and integration with other assistive technologies. The ultimate goal is to create a seamless interface that can be used by individuals with a wide range of disabilities.

'''BrainGate''' is a [[neural interface system]] that is currently under development and in clinical trials, by the company [[Cyberkinetics]]. The system is designed to help those who have lost control of their limbs, or other bodily functions, due to various [[neurological disorders]] such as [[spinal cord injury]], [[stroke]], [[muscular dystrophy]], [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]] or [[cerebral palsy]].

== Overview ==

The BrainGate [[Neural Interface Device]] is a proprietary brain-computer interface that consists of an internal neural signal sensor and external processors that convert neural signals into an output signal under the users own control. The sensor consists of a tiny chip smaller than a baby aspirin, with one hundred electrode sensors each thinner than a hair that detect brain cell electrical activity.

== Clinical Trials ==

The BrainGate system is currently in clinical trials. In its current form, BrainGate allows a user to move a cursor around a computer screen and click on an icon. The user does this by imagining the movement of their own hand. The sensor translates that activity into the movement of the cursor. The BrainGate system is not yet FDA approved, and is currently in clinical trials.
