1Introduction Brain chips can enhance memory of human beings, help paralyzed patients and are intended for military purposes. Develop direct interface between brain and computers.Its likely that implantable computer chips acting as sensors may soon assist failing memory, but even provide fluency in a new language

3OBJECTIVE OF BRAIN CHIPBrain chips records brain signals and transmits them to muscles. Brain chips can enhance memory of human beings, help paralyzed patients and are intended for military purposes. It develop direct interface between brain and computers.4Evolution towards brain chips The study of the Brain It is the most complicated area of research. The works of the physiologist JOSE DELGADO need to be mentioned. Much of the work taking place at the NIH, Stanford is built on the research done in 1950s by JOSE DELGADO. He implanted electrodes in animal brains and attached them to a "stimoceiver" under the skull 5Jose Delgados experiments

6Studies in human subjects with implanted electrodes have demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the depth of the brain can induce pleasurable manifestations, as evidenced by the spontaneous verbal reports of patients, their facial expression and general behavior, and their desire to repeat the experience. 7With such experiments, DELGADO unfolded many of the mysteries of the BRAIN, which contributed to the developments in brain implant technology. For e.g.: he understood how the sensation of suffering pain could be reduced by stimulating the frontal lobes of the brain.

8Neural NetworkNeural networks are loosely modeled on the networks of neurons. They can learn to perform complex tasks. They are especially effective at recognizing patterns, classifying data, and processing noisy signals

9Brain cells and silicon chips linked electronically Researchers working on tiny electrode arrays that links the two. However, once a device is implanted the body develops so-called glial cells, defenses that surround the foreign object and prevent neurons and electrodes from making contact.

10Fromherz researches led to the growth of three or four neurons on a 180x180 transistor array. In few days live nerves

11Achievements In This FieldBrain pace makersThey are implantable neurons that would perform the function of a part of brain that has been damaged by stroke or epilepsy...

12 Retinomorphic chipRetinomorphic chip is a silicon device similar to the human eye, picks out the kinds of features and facial patterns that we use to recognize people and read their emotional state

13 Invisible mouseIt helps the user to transmit the signals picked up from the brain and translate them into cursor commands on the computerImplants placed in brains motor cortex(body movement).

14 Remote controlled RatMovement signals are transmitted from computer to the brain of rat through a radio receiver strapped to its back.Military purposes and human rescue operations.

15Brain chip could help paralyzed patientsA paralyzed Massachusetts woman picked up a bottle of coffee and sipped from it by moving a robotic arm with her thoughts, researchers reported it the latest advance in the race to restore movement to people who have lost control of their muscles.

16Benefits Of Brain ChipsIt will increase the dynamic ranging of senses and enabling. Brain cells enable users to see IR,UV and chemical spectra.It will enhance memory.It will enable cyberthink.It will enable consistent and constant access to information where and when it is neededThe advantage of implants is that they take the decision making power away from the addict. Chips take away one's free will. It enables a person to make a better choice not to take drugs at all.

17Future of brain chipsIt will enhance memory.Enable consistent and constant access to information where and when needed.The new effort will use the same technology to control the patients actual arm with a system called functional electrical stimulation (FES).

18ConclusionBrain implants enhance capability of human organs and senses.It has a significant role to play in future genetic engineering fields and neuroscience.The implants may enhance your capabilities, but they will expire when you do.
