MIND-READING DEVICES ARE REVEALING THE BRAIN’S SECRETS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The development of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has allowed scientists to learn lessons about the brain that are overturning assumptions about brain anatomy. BCIs allow scientists to record single-neuron activity for a lot of brain areas that were previously not accessible. They also allow for longer measurements compared to classical tools. Advances in artificial intelligence, decoding tools, and hardware have propelled the field forward. This article discusses some of the findings that BCI technology has enabled.
