What is Cyber kinetics?
Kinetic Cyber refers to a class of cyber attacks that can cause direct or indirect physical damage, injury or death solely though the exploitation of vulnerable information systems and processes. Kinetic cyber attacks are a real and growing threat that is generally being ignored as unrealistic or alarmist.
What is BrainGate system?
BrainGate is a brain implant system built and previously owned by Cyberkinetics, currently under development and in clinical trials, designed to help those who have lost control of their limbs, or other bodily functions, such as patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or spinal cord injury.
Who funds BrainGate?

What is the BrainGate project about in the article?
BrainGate is developing and testing practical, groundbreaking medical devices to restore communication, mobility and independence to people affected by neurologic disease, paralysis, or limb loss.
Where is BrainGate located?
Brain Science of BrainGate The BrainGate™ technology consists of a sensor that is implanted on the motor cortex of the brain and a device that analyzes brain signals. Cervical spinal cord or brain injury may have disconnected the motor cortex signals from the limb.

What are Cybernetics and Systems Science?
What are Cybernetics and Systems Science? Cybernetics and Systems Science (also: “(General) Systems Theory” or “Systems Research”) constitute a somewhat fuzzily defined academic domain, that touches virtually all traditional disciplines, from mathematics, technology and biology to philosophy and the social sciences.
How does BrainGate help paralyzed?
BrainGate plugs into the brain, picks up the right neural signals and beams them into a computer where they are translated into moving a cursor or controlling a computer keyboard. By this means, paralysed people can move a robot arm or drive their own wheelchair, just by thinking about it.
