You can transfer data from the brain to the computer through the veins
April 11, 2019 | 11:43 / Interesting information
Scientists are actively developing interfaces for transferring data from the brain to a computer, and they all have a huge minus - the implementation is carried out through an open operation. The technology allows paralyzed people to communicate using a computer, but surgery can cause seizures and strokes.
To solve this problem, Synchron developed a Stentrode brain implant that can be carried to the brain through the inner part of the veins that carry blood from the neck and head. This approach eliminates the need for surgery.
The implantable device is proposed to bring to the brain through the jugular vein. Implantation in tissue, according to the calculations of researchers, takes about two weeks, and does not harm the body of people - this was found out during animal testing. Most recently, the company received permission to conduct tests on people - the device will be tested on five patients with impaired mouth and hands.
