You may be more interested in microelectrode arrays: http://heybryan.org/~bbishop/docs/neuro/ Those documents describe the design and implementation of the MEAs for wireless, invasive brain stimulation. There's also some stuff on that server about noninvasive magnetic stimulation techniques, but personally I'm a fan of the 5 MB/sec speeds promised by JPL from half a decade ago. It was only in 1998 that we were doing 32 KB/sec via wireless telemetry through the skull, but the speeds are increasing. - Bryan http://heybryan.org/ 1 512 203 0507 ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=120640061-aded06 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
