A robotic brain-computer interface
Brain computer interface might change the way we think. (sarcastic)
Here is how Wolf describes the project. “Our approach consists of implanting a small robotic device (and accompanying control algorithm) with many individually-motorized electrodes that each autonomously locate, isolate, and track a neuron for long periods of time. To further complicate matters, we wish to find signals only from neurons dedicated (’tuned’) to a particular task, say controlling an ‘arm reach.’ While the primary aim of such technology is for a neural interface for neuroprostheses, such a device may also advance the state-of-the-art experimental techniques for electrophysiology.”
