Eavesdropping on the Brain with 10,000 Electrodes

Cars That Think

That’s like asking a microelectronics engineer to reverse engineer the architecture, microcode, and operating system running on a state-of-the-art processor without the use of a digital logic probe, which would be a virtually impossible task. For an electrical engineer, those requirements add up to a very tall order.
