Physically Disabled Patient in BrainGate Neural Interface Pilot Test Able to Control Prosthetics With Brain Activity 

August 28, 2006 Physically Disabled Patient in BrainGate Neural Interface Pilot Test Able to Control Prosthetics With Brain Activity  The first trial participant using the BrainGate Neural Interface System (BrainGate) has been able to control a computer and robotic prosthetic devices with brain activity. The patient is a 25-year old with a spinal cord injury. The pilot trial of the unique assistive technology is being conducted under an investigational device exemption from the Food and Drug Administration. The successful clinical pilot provides support to the principle behind the BrainGate concept. The pilot trial study entitled, “Neuronal Ensemble Control of . . .
