Eavesdropping on the Brain with 10,000 Electrodes

Cars That Think

Our goal: to listen in on the electrical conversations taking place among thousands of neurons at once in any given thimbleful of brain tissue. It paves the way for future brain-computer interfaces that may enable paralyzed people to communicate at speeds approaching those of normal conversation. organometallic polymer for the shanks.
