Wireless brain sensor tested on primate

Neuroengineers at Brown University developed a wireless, broadband, rechargeable sensor that is implantable and relays real-time broadband signals from up to 100 neurons. The project is described here on Science Daily.

"The team worked closely with neurosurgeons to implant the device in three pigs and three rhesus macaque monkeys. The research in these six animals has been helping scientists better observe complex neural signals for as long as 16 months so far. In the new paper, the team shows some of the rich neural signals they have been able to record in the lab. Ultimately this could translate to significant advances that can also inform human neuroscience." --Science Daily.

The team's findings were published in Journal of Neural Engineering.
