Cyberkinetics (Foxborough, MA) is a leader in the rapidly emerging field of brain computer interfaces. Cyberkinetics' technology allows for the creation of direct, reliable and bi-directional interfaces between the brain, nervous system and a computer. The development of safe, robust implants for recording from, and or stimulating, the brain surface will open the potential to study other complex signals from the brain. Cyberkinetics technology platform, called BrainGateâ„¢ may allow breakthrough applications which leverage the translation of thought into direct computer control. Such applications may include novel communications interfaces for motor impaired patients, as well as the monitoring and treatment of certain diseases which manifest themselves in patterns of brain activity, such as epilepsy and depression.
