to interface with a computer without weeks or months of training; its
potential to be used in an interactive environment, where the user's
ability to operate the device is not affected by their speech, eye
movements or ambient noise; and the ability to provide significantly
more usefulness and utility than other approaches by connecting
directly to the part of the brain that controls hand movement and

Cyberkinetics received regulatory clearance from the U. The first patient was enrolled through the Sargent
Rehabilitation Center in Rhode Island and has successfully been able
to use his thoughts and the BrainGate System to demonstrate that the
System can be used to operate a computer, environmental controls and a

The ultimate goal of the BrainGate development program is to
create a safe, effective and unobtrusive universal operating system
which will allow physically disabled people to quickly and reliably
control a wide range of devices using their thoughts, including
computers, assistive technologies and medical devices . "RIC is an acknowledged leader in
the field of rehabilitation medicine and its participation is expected
to help us develop the BrainGate System more quickly and effectively. RIC is the home to the largest

Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Joins Cyberkinetics' BrainGate Neural Interface System Pilot Study

Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) in March of 2004 to study the BrainGate
Neural Interface System under an Investigational Device Exemption
(IDE).

About the BrainGate System

The BrainGate(TM) Neural Interface System is a proprietary,
investigational brain-computer interface that consists of an internal
sensor to detect brain cell activity and external processors that
convert these brain signals into a computer -mediated output under the
person's own control.
The anticipated enrollment of additional patients should further our
efforts to develop products that improve the lives of many people with
physical disabilities, including those with spinal cord injury.
While best known for treating the most complex cases such as brain
injury, spinal cord injury and stroke, RIC brings the same level of
expertise to helping those with more common conditions including
arthritis, chronic pain and sports injuries .ric.cyberkineticsinc.

The pilot (feasibility) study protocol provides for the enrollment
of up to five individuals with quadriplegia (unable to use their arms
