Advancements in Neuroscience: Bridging the Gap for the Severely Disabled

This article explores the revolutionary developments in the field of neuroscience, particularly focusing on the dual structure of the nervous system: the central and peripheral systems. We highlight the contributions of BrainGate, a pioneering company committed to enabling communication and daily function control for individuals with severe disabilities through thought-driven technology. Their multi-disciplinary approach integrates mechanical engineering, physics, biology, and chemistry. Major breakthroughs since 2004 promise to enhance the quality of life, transform computer science technologies, and potentially open new markets.
