It has been a dream of scientists to help people cope up with their unfortunate neurodegenerative diseases. They were planning and trying hard to help paralyzed patients control their prosthetic or paralyzed limbs, without any third party support. Now, after years of research and dedication, ARM has collaborated with the University of Washington for working on brain implant chip. This is likely to be implemented in the brains of the paralyzed patients and will help them to work on paralyzed limbs, all by themselves. If so, then this invention is definitely going to be a revolutionary change in the scientific sector with special help from technology.
Working on processes now:
ARM has recently announced that it has been working on some processors, which are small enough to be installed into human brain. This single invention can help people to cover paralysis. Not only that but this method can help in counteract the stroke effects and even control some prosthetic limbs, with the help of their thoughts. So, now, the paralyzed patient just need to think about their movements and this chip will function automatically.
ARM is a UK based technology firm and is here to collaborate with the University of Washington for the current Sensorimotor Neural Engineering. This engineering field is going to come across some ways of developing ways for integrating the said technology into the brains of human being. This method has further been defined as one of the major frontiers of the current technology invention.
Advanced study as awaited:
This agreement is likely because of advancing the study of bi-directional brain computer interface. Here, the research is likely to talk about understanding the ways, in which brain processes impulse, and how it can turn those into commands to the attached control muscles. This study might have to work on neural signals, which are likely to be digitized, decoded and even processed, before even feeding the outfit into some electronic stimulators. These stimulators are likely to be embedded into spinal cord of the patient.
After that, information needs to be sent in other manners to help brain receive the feeling of what the hands are touching or on muscular movements. Scientists even believe that with some more research they might be able to re-program the brains to heal the body themselves and further restore the functions largely.
SoC is designed:
Just for matching this purpose, a SoC has been designed, which is likely to be extremely tine and powerful. It can generate quite little amount of heat. ARM’s functionalities are now based on the efforts of Cortax MO, which is defined to be the smallest form of current processor. The project is free from any timeline and no such projection.
Scientists are now hoping that they are going to develop an advanced technology, which will help people to feel and even move after they suffered from the dreadful conditions of spinal injuries, paralysis and even any form of neurodegenerative conditions. This technology will save patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, as well.
