El implante cerebral permite al hombre en estado de bloqueo comunicarse
Resumen
Las personas con esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA) pueden comunicar pensamientos mediante el uso de señales neuronales. Esta tecnología de interfaz cerebro-ordenador ofrece una nueva vía de comunicación para aquellos con parálisis completa.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La neurociencia
- Ingeniería biomédica
- Tecnología de apoyo
Sus antecedentes:
- La esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA) causa parálisis muscular progresiva, que a menudo conduce a la pérdida completa del control motor y del habla.
- Los métodos de comunicación asistencial existentes pueden ser lentos, engorrosos o inaccesibles para las personas con parálisis severa.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Neurons as Communicators of the Brain
Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, function as the primary transmitters of information throughout the body. Their ability to communicate through electrical and chemical signals is vital for every bodily function, from regulating the heartbeat to processing complex thoughts. Each neuron has three main components: the cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon, each specialized to facilitate swift and efficient neural communication.

Brain Imaging
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
