Chinese researchers claimed to have reached a breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) by engineering a new implantable electrode to help people control devices with their thoughts and improve their neuron health.
The device influences the surrounding neurons to create a more harmonious interaction between the brain and foreign object.
Researchers implanted electrodes into both sides of a mouse’s brain to evaluate whether their genetically altered version would increase neuronal activity. The results were positive, showing that blocking specific genes led to enhanced performance.
