Non-invasive wearable device to record brain function and stimulate brain

May lead to better treatment options for neurodegenerative diseases

24-May-2019

Key points from article :

Scientists to design a wearable, non-invasive neural interface.

May record and stimulate brain’s dynamic activity with high temporal and spatial resolution.

In existing non-invasive methods, waves scatter while propagating through brain tissue.

Plans to use ultrasound-based light and near-infrared light sensing to record brain function.

Flexible electrical stimulators will be used for brain stimulation.

May lead to in-depth study of neural circuits and localization of neurological diseases.

Implications for better diagnosis and treatment options for neurodegenerative diseases.

Research by Carnegie Mellon University in collaboration with other institutes.
