Blackrock Neurotech Reveals Neuralace™: 10,000+ Channel Next-Gen BCI
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, computing, cyborgs, neuroscience
Blackrock’s long-tested NeuroPort® Array, widely considered the gold standard of high-channel neural interfacing, has been used in human BCIs since 2004 and powered many of the field’s most significant milestones. In clinical trials, patients using Blackrock’s BCI have regained tactile function, movement of their own limbs and prosthetics, and the ability to control digital devices, despite diagnoses of paralysis and other neurological disorders.
While Blackrock’s BCI enables patients to execute sophisticated functions without reliance on assistive technologies, next-generation BCIs for areas such as vision and memory restoration, performance prediction, and treatment of mental health disorders like depression will need to interface with more neurons.
Neuralace is designed to capitalize on this need; with 10,000+ channels and the entire scalable system integrated on an extremely flexible lace-structured chip, it could capture data that is orders of magnitude greater than existing electrodes, allowing for an exponential increase in capability and intuitiveness.

Microsoft Designer Is The Very Worst Example Of AI
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: materials, robotics/AI
Microsoft is determined to thrust “AI” into all of its products at the moment and Microsoft Designer is no exception. This supposedly AI-driven service — currently in preview — is meant to create stunning social media posts, flyers etc. from your written prompts alone. Sadly, it’s about as intelligent as a Big Mac.
This is sort-of fine for a two-for one drinks offer:
This is, at best, conceptual:

Berkeley researcher deploys robots and AI to increase pace of research by 100 times
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: materials, robotics/AI
No human intervention is required.
A research team led by Yan Zeng, a scientist at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has built a new material research laboratory where robots do the work and artificial intelligence (AI) can make routine decisions. This allows work to be conducted around the clock, thereby accelerating the pace of research.
Research facilities and instrumentation have come a long way over the years, but the nature of research remains the same. At the center of each experiment is a human doing the measurements, making sense of data, and deciding the next steps to be taken. At the A-Lab set up at Berkeley, the researchers led by Zeng want to break the current pace of research by using robotics and AI.
