The wonder of brain implants
The recent application of brain implants now includes connecting a person’s brain to devices around him. A paralyzed man was fitted with brain implants in able to link him to a computer. And the computer is connected to other devices around him. He was able to operate the computer by simply imagining the movement of his arms, and consequently, the devices linked to the computer.
Also known as neuron implant, this device is placed in the person’s brain, ordinarily on the surface. Commonly used for biomedical prosthesis, this recent development shows that the application of brain implants might have no boundaries and only time can tell how far this technology can alleviate the lives of people with physiological problems.
