Abstract:-Science has made great strides in the past few decades towards uncovering the basic principles underlying the brain’s ability to receive sensation and control movement. These discoveries, along with revolutionary advances in computing power and microelectronics technology, have led to an emerging view that neural prosthetics, or electronic interfaces within the brain for restoration or augmentation of physiological function, may one day be possible.
Real-time direct interfaces between the brain and electronic and mechanical devices can be used to restore sensory and motor functions lost through injury or disease. Hybrid brain–machine interfaces have the potential to enhance our perceptual, motor and cognitive capabilities by revolutionizing the way we use computers and interact with remote environments. Brain-machine interface provides a way for people with damaged sensory/motor functions to use their brain to control artificial devices and restore lost capabilities
New techniques for microstimulating neuronal tissue and emerging developments in microchip design, computer science and robotics have the potential to coalesce into a new technology devoted to creating interfaces between the human brain and artificial devices. Such technology could allow patients to use brain activity to control electronic, mechanical or even virtual devices, leading to new therapeutic alternatives for restoring lost sensory, motor and even cognitive functions.
