ARM has been working in creating chips that are suitable for implantation in the brain. ARM, along with Washington University, is developing new processors that will act as bi-directional brain-computer interfaces between the brain and various implants and artificial limbs for the human body.

One of the problems of modern prostheses is the lack of a reverse sensory connection between the robotic prostheses and the brain. Developers create a variety of high-tech prosthesis that responds​ to brain signals, the environment and have basic self-learning processes. However, their capabilities are far less compared to the sensory sensitivity of human organs.

For the construction of future neurosystems ARM will use its smallest processor - Cortex-M0. These chips will be used as intermediaries. They will convert complex brain signals into comprehensible computer languages. The company intends to place these chips in a comfortable wrapper so that they are not disposed of by the human body and are comfortable to use.

The potential of this technology is enormous. ARM believes that these chips will help many patients: from Parkinson's patients to spinal cord injuries to strokes. On the other hand, according to scientists, the new chips can be used to turn people into cyborgs. Placing processors in the brain could allow a person to far outstretch his brain and increase his memory and computing power. - Source
