A Wireless Brain-Computer Interface
From: MIT Technology Review - 03/11/2013
By: Susan Young

Broadband communication and custom signal-processing chips power a new
brain-recording device that may one day help paralyzed people.  

A new wireless brain implant could be an important step toward technology
that lets people with mobility problems control a computer or wheelchair with
their thoughts.

New Sensor Transmits Brain Activity Wirelessly 
From: Bioscience Technology - 03/20/2013

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. In addition to allowing
for more natural studies of brain activity in moving subjects, this
implantable device represents a potential major step toward cord-free control
of advanced prosthetics that move with the power of thought.
