Smartphone chipsets have evolved drastically in the last decade. Major advances in smartphone technology such as facial recognition, performance improvements and mapping are based on the chipset evolution. Since they bring so much functionality to smartphones, what if the chips could be planted into the human brain? A new venture by smartphone chipmaker ARM and Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE) at the University of Washington plans to develop a "brain-implantable system-on-chip (SoC)" for bi-directional brain-computer interfaces to treat neurogenerative disorders". Essentially the company wants to develop smartphone style chipsets, which can be implanted into your brain and help overcome neural diseases such as Parkinson's. Psychedelics Boost Brain's Signal Diversity, Scans Reveal "ARM's strong expertise in power-efficient microprocessors compliments the CSNE's work in computational neuroscience and brain-computer interfacing, and we expect the partnership to lead to advances in not only medical technology but other applications as well, such as consumer electronics," Dr. Scott Ransom, CSNE's director of industry relations and innovation said in the press release Tuesday.
