Inside Neurograins, A New Technology To Record Brain Impulses

A group of researchers from Brown University, University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and Qualcomm recently developed a brain-computer interface (BCIs) system called ‘Neurograins’ that can sense electrical activity in the brain and transmit the data wirelessly. It records and stimulates brain activity using a coordinated network of independent and wireless microscale neural sensors. This…

“With so much at stake, the need for the field of neuroscience and AI to come together is now more urgent than ever before.” DeepMind Human brains have around 86 billion neurons connected via an estimated 100 trillion synapses. It becomes a mammoth challenge to comprehend the minutiae of how those cells function, let alone…

“This is a great opportunity to continue the synergistic virtuous circle’ that has connected neuroscience and AI for decades.” Artificial Neural networks occasionally get the bad rap for watering down the complexity of how a human brain works with over the top analogies. But, there is no denying the fact that popular algorithms were heavily…

DeepMind has been trying to bridge the gap between AI and biology for quite some time now. All their endeavours revolve around solving the problem of intelligence in machines. The straightforward trivial tasks for humans can be very, very sophisticated and almost for devices. While human brains are hardcoded with millions of years of learning,…

In the early 90s, a bunch of experiments were performed to find out how a living organism learns a task. In one such experiment, rats were made to run along the length of a single corridor or circular track, so researchers could easily determine which neuron coded for each position within the corridor. To the…

Researchers from the interdisciplinary fields of computational sciences and neuro sciences usually take the anthropomorphic design approach to mimic human understanding of conceptual foundations. The researchers usually suggest this bottom-up approach to understand intelligent architectures because simple nervous systems(number of neurons that can be mapped) found in nature, like that of nematodes, are biophysically simulated…
