Applications of brain implants and their importance today

At present, advances in neuroscience are taking on a very important role, due to the need to improve people's quality of life. The present work consists of the description of the applications of brain implants and their current significance based on a bibliographic review. The brain implant has come to be considered the future for the area of neuroscience because considerable advances have been made, in addition to having a promising future in application to people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It is also taken into account as a possible solution to recover movement in the case of people with paralysis, where it is sought to have control of the extremities through electrical stimuli generated by the brain implant. Despite the benefits of the device, there are some disadvantages that must be taken into account, for example, the material for the device is still under study for a longer service life. On the other hand, there were patients with personality changes and a state of depression due to dependence on the device. However, with the brain implant in future projects it is sought to maintain control of robots and airplanes exclusively through thought, a prototype is also being created that will allow connecting the mind with a computer. With all the advances made and those that remain to be made, it is necessary to continue with the study of this type of device, since it can change and improve many lives.
