Eavesdropping on the Brain: With 10,000 electrodes, this neural implant senses more than ever before

Abstract
Imagine a portable computer built from a network of 86 billion switches, capable of general intelligence sophisticated enough to build a spacefaring civilization-but weighing just 1.2 to 1.3 kilograms, consuming just 20 watts of power, and jiggling like Jell-O as it moves. There's one inside your skull right now. It is a breathtaking achievement of biological evolution. But there are no blueprints.
