Wireless, implanted sensor broadens range of brain research: DARPA/NIBIB

This caught my attention yesterday . . .

DARPA tweeted a link to this National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) article on how wireless, implanted sensors are broadening the range of brain research.  From the article:

A compact, self-contained sensor recorded and transmitted brain activity data wirelessly for more than a year in early stage animal tests, according to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

 

I’ve been interested in this stuff for a while because I believe neurosecurity will one day replace cybersecurity.  Indeed, if computers are vulnerable, and we’re implanting computers in our bodies (and brains), then we’re introducing new risks to the equations.

Anyways, I also found it interesting that DARPA tweeted this . . . seems to indicate that they too are interested in this.
