60 Minutes: Decoding language of the brain [video]
In the emerging technology diversion department, here’s a cool video from 60 Minutes. Andrew Schwartz, a neuroscientist at the University of Pittsburg, has implanted a grid of electrodes inside a monkey’s brain in order to listen to the different brain cells (or neurons) in an attempt to decode the language of the brain.
And other parts of the package:
- Relationship between neurons and movement (Part 2)
- BrainGate: Movement controlled by mind (Part 3)
- Development of wireless system (Part 4)
