Brown University to Receive Up to $19M to Engineer Next-Generation
  Brain-Computer Interface
From: Medical Design Technology - 07/11/2017

With a grant of up to $19 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), Brown University will lead a collaboration to develop a fully
implantable wireless brain interface system able to record and stimulate
neural activity with unprecedented detail and precision.

The system will be designed to have both "read-out" and "write-in"
capabilities. It will be able to record neural activity, helping to deepen
scientists' understanding of how the brain processes stimuli from the outside
world. It will also have the capability to stimulate neural activity through
tiny electrical pulses, a function researchers hope to eventually use in
human clinical research aimed at restoring brain function lost to injury or
disease.
