A New Vision for Neuroscience
Researchers have captured something no one has seen before: neurons flashing in real time, in a walking, living creature. These live recordings of neural electricity could revolutionize how we see the brain.

|
A battery-like device could act as an artificial synapse within computing systems intended to imitate the brain’s efficiency and ability to learn, according to new research
|
|
|
A system that allows interfacing the cloud with the human brain would be based on technologies called “neuralnanorobotics", that would facilitate medical applications and controlled connectivity between neural activity and external data storage and processing. Are we ready for this?
