Researchers working on tiny, implantable computers to restore lost brain functions

Researchers working on tiny, implantable computers to restore lost brain functions: "The neurochip can record nerve cell activity in one part of the brain, process this activity and then stimulate cells in another brain region. The battery-powered device operates continuously during free behavior. When primates carry out their usual daily activities – socializing, climbing, eating, and exploring – their brains can learn to exploit these new resources under normal behavioral conditions."
