The newly developed neural implant is designed to be extremely compact, measuring less than a grain of salt. This size allows for minimal invasiveness during implantation.
It functions by tracking brain activity and wirelessly transmitting data, which is crucial for ongoing neurological research and potential clinical applications.
Powered by laser light that can safely penetrate biological tissue, the implant communicates using infrared signals, ensuring efficient data transfer without significant energy consumption.
