Scientists at Tel Aviv University are working on a pacemaker for your brain

On June 29, 2010, in Mad Science, by doctor paradox

“Prof. Matti Mintz of Tel Aviv University’s Psychobiology Research Unit in its Department of Psychology is focusing on the behavioral-physiological aspects of the research. He and the rest of the international research team are working toward a chip that could help treat some diseases of the mind in just a few years. The platform, says Prof. Mintz, is flexible enough to provide a basis for a variety of clinical experiments, and tools which can be programmed for specific disorders. For example, the chip could restore lost functions of the brain after a traumatic brain injury from a car accident or stroke.”

– yeah this is pretty much crazy. Cyborgian singularity, ho!
