An American company, with the help of an Iranian researcher named Shahram Majidi, planted the first implant in the brain of a patient suffering from ALS to enable him to move and talk.
Dr. Shahram Majidi is a professor of neurosurgery, neurosurgery, and radiology at ICON Medical College. He specializes in the treatment of endovascular disorders, including ischemic stroke, intracranial atherosclerosis, carotid tendonitis, cerebral aneurysm and vein anomalies, cervical and spinal vascular fistula, and embolization of head and cervical tumors before surgery.
He completed his internal medicine apprenticeship and neuro residency at George Washington University; where he served as chief resident at George Washington University Hospital.
Dr. Majidi is a member of the International Neurosurgery Society, Interventive Vein, and Neurology Society, and the American Heart Association, and his research studies have been published in prestigious journals and are presented in national and international societies.
Scientists have long been working on designing a brain-computer interface to enable disabled and disabled people to move and speak, reports Iscanews.
Shahram Majidi implanted a 3/8 cm long implant consisting of wire and electrodes into a blood vessel in the brain of a patient with ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Hopefully, this patient will soon regain the ability to move and talk, surf the web, and type easily. This thought machine actually turns his thoughts into comprehensible instructions.
Startup Synchron has already been implanted in four patients in Australia. All four patients were able to perform their duties like sending messages on WhatsApp and online shopping without any side effects.
Utah County allows patients with severe disabilities to do important things, like commanding robotic arms to bring them a cup of water. But they usually only use these devices under hospital supervision, and since the brain tends to repair and form tissue around the device-related wound, the signals collected by the device are destroyed over time.
A stentrode, which is placed in a moving shell, uses 16 electrodes to monitor brain activity and record the shots of neurons while thinking. Signal power improves over time, as the device connects deeper to the blood vessel and gets closer to neurons. In addition, a software is used to analyze and analyze brain data patterns and adapt them to the goal one is trying to achieve.
