A team of researchers from San Diego State University (SDSU) and the University of Washington (UW) are collaborating to develop a novel wireless device to record and stimulate brain activity, one of the long-term goals of the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering.
SDSU researchers have created flexible glassy carbon electrodes, now commonly used in a variety of applications, which can be implanted on the surface of the brain to record signals or stimulate specific sites.
Maria Vomero, SDSU graduate student in the NeuroMEMS Lab, said the team “heats the polymer at different temperatures and different rates of speed. We noticed that if we change the parameters, we get a new material every time.”
Nearly 20 students from Morehouse kicked off a tour across the country last week, starting off their spring break by marching in Selma, Alabama on the same day President Barack Obama joined civil rights leaders to commemorate the “Bloody Sunday” march.
Babies’ brains account for 13 percent of their weight. It would take more than 3,000 years to count the 100 billion nerve cells in a human brain. The weight of your brain has nothing to do with your intelligence.
