China develops world's smallest wearable brain monitor, Airscope

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Chinese scientists have developed the Airscope, a new brain monitoring device that is the world's smallest and lightest wearable at just one gram. This wireless device allows researchers to simultaneously track the activity of thousands of individual neurons in untethered lab animals, offering a cortex-wide view. Developed by teams from Tsinghua University and the Chinese PLA Medical School, the Airscope was detailed in a publication in the journal Nature. AI

IMPACT This development could advance optical brain-computer interfaces for more precise neural detection in research settings.
