Applications include monitoring the brain in paralyzed patients, watching for epileptic seizure signs, and real-time feedback for robotic arms
Neuroscientists at the Neuronano Research Centre at Lund University in Sweden have developed and tested an ambitious new design for processing and storing the massive amounts of data expected from future implantable brain machine interfaces (BMIs) and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The system would simultaneously acquire data from more than 1 million neurons in real time. … more…


New algorithm will allow for simulating neural connections of entire brain on future exascale supercomputers
March 21, 2018

(credit: iStock) An international team of scientists has developed an algorithm that represents a major step toward simulating neural connections in the entire human brain. The new algorithm, described in an open-access paper published in Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, is intended to allow simulation of the human brain’s 100 billion interconnected neurons on supercomputers. The work involves researchers … more…
