Scientists Connect A Human Brain To The Internet For The First Time | IFLScience

http://www.iflscience.com/brain/scientists-connect-human-brain-internet-first-time/

According to a press release, the team of neuroscientists and engineers have used an electroencephalogram (EEG) – a device that detects electrical signals in the brain – to transmit neurological activity to a cheap Raspberry Pi computer. This then live streams the data to a program running on a website that anyone can view at any time.

    Researchers Have Restored Consciousness In A Man Who Spent The Last 15 Years In A Vegetative State
    http://www.iflscience.com/brain/nerve-stimulation-shows-consciousness-could-be-restored-after-many-years-in-vegetative-state/

    Scientists at the French National Center for Scientific Research have used nerve stimulation to induce signs of consciousness in a man who has been in a vegetative state almost half his life.

    After a month of stimulation of the vagus nerve with a current of around a milliamp, the man was able to turn his head on request.

    Scientists Connect Brain Cells to Machines Over the Internet
    https://www.labiotech.eu/brain/brain-machine-interface-internet/

    An international group of researchers has set up a brain-machine interface between cultured nerve cells and electronic chips linked over the internet, which could lead to the development of AI implants for treating neurological disorders.

    As described in a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, the team set up a system where cultured rat nerve cells in Italy could send real-time electrical signals to artificial neurons — circuits that behave like nerve cells — in Switzerland. The online signals were passed via electronic synapses — or ‘memristors’ — in the UK. The signals could also go the other way, sending communications from the artificial nerve cells to the biological nerve cells.

    Scientists make artificial and biological neurons communicate over the internet
    https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/neural-network-rat-neurons/

    Despite the continued assurances of pioneers like Elon Musk, the idea of a biological brain interfacing with a computer still sounds like science fiction. But scientists in the U.K., Switzerland, Germany, and Italy are here to remind you that it really isn’t. In a recent experiment, the researchers fired up a working neural network that let biological and silicon-based artificial brain cells communicate with one another over an internet connection.

    By measuring small electrical changes on a person’s arm, this device can infer which keys need to be pressed and when with machine learning.

    Elon Musk kertoi tammikuussa, että Neuralink on ensimmäistä kertaa onnistuneesti istuttanut aivoimplanttinsa ihmispotilaalle. Musk kuuluu yhtiön perustajajäseniin. Muutamaa viikkoa myöhemmin hän kertoi potilaan parantuneen hyvin ja voivan ohjata tietokoneen hiirtä ajattelemalla.

    Scientists use Matrix-style learning to ‘write’ skills into human brain noninvasively
    The wobbling stopped when a participant’s brain activity matched the target pattern, effectively “sculpting” their brain activity towards the desired pattern through this feedback mechanism.
