Implant Simultaneously Reads and Stimulates Brain to Control Parkinson’s, Other Diseases

Researchers at University of California, Berkeley, have developed a wireless electrode array implant that can read and contemporaneously stimulate the brain. The technology, being commercialized by Cortera Neurotechnologies, a spinoff firm, can read and write up to 128 electrodes that make contact with the brain in such a fashion that the stimulation does not significantly affect reading of the brain's natural electric signals. This would allow for the creation of devices that immediately res...
