Advantages of BrainGate

1. BrainGate can remain safely implanted in the brain for at least two years.
2. Later it can safely be removed as well.
3. Spiking from many neurons the language of the brain can be recorded, routed outside the human brain and decoded into command signals.
4. Paralyzed humans can directly and successfully control external devices, such as a computer cursor using these neural command signals.
5. The speed, accuracy, and precision are comparable to a non-disabled person there is no training necessary (just the ability to think of an action).
