Towards the next generation of brain/machine interface

We report on the latest development of our photonics-based brain-machine interface. This work done in collaboration between UNSW and Macquarie University - and supported by the US Office of Naval Research - directly addresses the long-term DARPA challenge of producing implantable chips with 1 million neural connections(1). To the best of our knowledge, no technology has demonstrated the potential so far to scale up to such a massive number of channels.
