A wireless brain sensor developed at Brown University could open new doors for neuroscience, enabling subjects to be monitored in natural environments rather than to be tethered to a nearby computer via a bulky cable plugged into the patient’s head.
“We hope that the wireless neurosensor will change the canonical paradigm of neuroscience research, enabling scientists to explore the nervous system within its natural context and without the use of tethering cables,” said David Borton, PhD in a statement. “Subjects are free to roam, forage, sleep, etc., all while the researchers are observing the brain activity. We are...
