BRAIN PORT V100
Helping people with disabilities and health problems live a better life!
INTRODUCTION
Brainport is a technology whereby sensory information can be sent to one's brain through an electronic array which sits atop the tongue.
It was initially developed by Paul bach-y-Rita as an aid to people's sense of balance, particularly of stroke victims. Bach-y-Rita founded Wicab in 1998.
The BrainportV100 oral electronic vision aid was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on june 18,2015
WORK PHENOMENON OF BRAINPORT
It has also been developed for use as a visual aid, demonstrating its ability to allow a blind person to see his or her surrounding in polygonal and pixel form. In this scenario,a camera picks up the image of the surrounding, the information is processed by a chip which converts it into impulses which are sent through an electrode array, via the tongue, to the person's brain. The human brain is able to interpret these impulses as visual signals and they are then redirected to the visual cortex, allowing the person to "see".
CONCLUSION
Device That helps blind people see with Their tongues just won FDA approval. The device, called the BrainportV100, can help the blind navigate by processing visual information and communicating it to the user through electrons on his tongue.
