Brain implant Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Brain implants often referred to as neural implants are technological devices that connect directly to a biological subject s brain usually placed on the surface of the brain or attached to the brain s cortex A common purpose of modern brain implants and the focus of much current research is establishing a biomedical prosthesis circumventing areas in the brain which became dysfunctional after a stroke or other head injuries This includes sensory substitution e g in vision Other brain implants are used in animal experiments simply to record brain activity for scientific reasons Some brain implants involve creating interfaces between neural systems and computer chips which are part of a wider research field called brain computer interfaces Brain computer interface research also includes technology such as EEG arrays that allow interface between mind and machine but do not require direct implantation of a device Neural implants such as deep brain stimulation and Vagus nerve stimulation are increasingly becoming routine for patients with Parkinson s disease and clinical depression respectively proving themselves as a boon for people with diseases which were previously regarded as incurable 1 Source <a href= http en wikipedia org wiki Brain implant rel= nofollow >en wikipedia org wiki Brain implant< a>
