The NeuroPort Array (pictured) was developed by Salt Lake City-based Blackrok Neurotech. The device can read a person's brain signals and use them to control a robotic arm, type or perform other functions. Some hope that the rise of these devices will be a revelation for treating paralysis and other conditions
Revelations 13:14 “…by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth…”
Important Takeaways:
- This Utah biotech company has implanted brain chips in 50 people — and its owner wants to cure blindness, paralysis and DEPRESSION
- It sounds like the stuff of science fiction – but a company in Utah has already implanted brain chips in dozens of patients.
- Blackrock Neurotech, based in Salt Lake City, has the grand ambition of curing physical paralysis, blindness, deafness and depression.
- The chip — known as NeuroPort Array — allow people to control robotic arms and wheelchairs, play video games and even feel sensations.
- It works by using nearly 100 microneedles that attach to the brain and read electrical signals produced by someone’s thoughts. More than three dozen people have so far received it.
- Blackrock’s technology uses an implantable microchip that has 96 arrays — small needle-shaped brain chips that can read and stimulate electrical signals.
- It can be placed anywhere on the brain’s surface. Multiple devices can be placed on the same person’s brain.
- After implantation, the chip detects electrical signals generated by the wearer’s thoughts.
- Machine learning software decodes these signals into digital commands such as cursor movements, which can be used to control prosthetics and computer equipment.
- But the company is now seeking FDA approval for devices built for use outside the lab, to be used at home by people with paralysis.
