Listening in on the Brain's Electrical Conversations with Better Tools

New tools for recording brain activity, developed in the Knight Campus lab of Felix Deku, could one day decode Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The human brain contains more connections between neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way. Decoding the electrical activity behind all those cells is the massive task that excites neural engineers like Felix Deku, who are working to build better tools for recording brain activity.
