I understand putting a chip in the body when it’s only supposed to passively hold information (e.g. one of those tagging chips for lost pets). But if it’s a chip that’s supposed to do something (say, translating brain signals into actions), how does it “know” what it’s supposed to do? I’m picturing wiring up individual nerves to the chip to provide it with information, but that can’t be right.
In: Technology
The chip reads and/or writes electrical impulses using tiny electrodes capable of detecting/emitting neural polarization/depolarization within a short distance of them. Electrodes pick up local changes in the electrical field and a downstream processor tries to make sense of them.
