Precision Neuroscience, a specialist in brain-computer interfaces, has laid claim to a new record for the number of surgically-inserted electrodes in a human brain. At 4,096 electrodes, Precision reckons it has doubled the previously published figure of 2,048 set last year by a group of researchers headed up by Hao Tan.
For context, Elon Musk's Neuralink currently tops out at 1,024 electrodes for its brain-computer interface (BCI). Is electrode count the be all and end all for BCIs? Colour us clueless, for we have no idea. But it certainly get you bragging rights.
