Our goal is to create a Brain Machine Interface that is high density, long-term, and clinically viable for the human brain. Currently, neural recording is done through direct electrical measurement through conducting electrodes and potential changes near relevant neurons during depolarization events called action potentials. Problems with current technology include 1) unreliable electrical connection between active area inside brain and electronic circuits near periphery 2) practical upper bound on number of viable recording sites 3) growth of biological response degrading recording performance over time. With implanting neural dust particles on the surface of the brain, many of these problems may be solved.
