Large-scale, long-term recordings of the activity of individual brain neurons are essential for improving our knowledge of neural circuits, developing new medical device-based treatments, and, eventually, developing brain-computer interfaces that need high-resolution electrophysiological data.
Recording the activity of large populations of single neurons in the brain over long periods of time is crucial to further our understanding of neural circuits, to enable novel medical device-based therapies and, in the future, for brain–computer interfaces requiring high-resolution electrophysiological information.
<p>An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the <a href="https://seas.harvard.edu/">Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences </a>(SEAS), in collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin, MIT and <a href="https://axoft.us/" target="_blank">Axoft, Inc</a>., developed a soft implantable device with dozens of sensors that can record single-neuron activity in the brain stably for months.</p>
Three MIT researchers have been elected fellows of the American Physical Society (APS) for 2023. The APS Fellowship Program was created in 1921 for those in the physics community to recognize peers who have contributed to advances in physics through
The American Physical Society named MIT's Paola Cappellaro, Maria Gatu Johnson, and Bradley Olsen as APS Fellows for their research, applications, teaching, and leadership. Ten additional MIT alumni were also named.
