A Novel Optical Brain-Machine Interface

Caption

A novel optical brain-machine interface allows bidirectional communication with the brain. While a robotic arm is controlled by neuronal activity recorded with optical imaging (red laser), the position of the arm is fed back to the brain via optical microstimulation (blue laser). Une nouvelle interface cerveau-machine optique ouvrant la voie à une communication bidirectionnelle avec le cerveau. Le laser rouge permet d’imager l’activité neuronale de la souris et ainsi le contrôle du bras robotique. Le laser bleu va ensuite livrer une microstimulation optique au cerveau, retransmettant la position du bras. © Daniel Huber, UNIGE
