NEURAL CHIP DECODES INTERACTIONS BETWEEN BRAIN REGIONS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Researchers have developed an implantable neural chip that tracks communication across brain regions. It can record brain activity and extract biomarkers that describe the strength of brain waves and synchrony between signals from different brain regions. These signals can be decoded using a machine-learning algorithm to distinguish between cognitive and emotional states. The capability to extract brain-network biomarkers to trigger precisely timed stimulation has many applications across next-generation neurotechnology.
