Summary
Harnessing the unique power of the human brain to achieve disruptive advances in human health, computing, and robotics is a grand challenge for engineering. For example, the possibility of interfacing computers directly to neuron cells in the brain has the potential to revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders. This project will explore a new approach to connecting brain cells to machines. Current technologies rely on electrical stimulation that often damages delicate brain tissue. This project explores a bold new idea: that nerve signals, long thought to be purely electrical, may
