In the field of neuroscience, we all dream of direct brain-to-brain communication. Our lab is paving the way towards making that dream into a reality.
By combining brain recording tools on one individual with brain stimulation methodologies on another individual, we are working towards “copying” a signal from one brain into another. By recording activity in the first subject’s brain, we can find the origin of each signal—then use stimulation to apply electrical activity to the same region of the second subject’s brain. This entire process can be performed non-invasively.
Our group has demonstrated the precision of our stimulation and recording techniques in-Silico, and we are working on the development of a stimulator that can be used to test out “Brain Copying” on animal models.
Brain Copying requires cutting-edge recording and stimulation tools. Our lab has developed both (images from our publications https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2016.00543, and https://doi.org/10.3390/a15050169)
