Scientists have developed a revolutionary new way to monitor brain activity. A robot, injected directly into the skull, is able to spread its tentacles and monitor the activity of neurons in the brain. The robot, designed by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is made up of a small capsule, containing eight tentacles. These tentacles are able to spread out and attach to the brain, allowing them to monitor electrical activity in neurons. This is the first time that a robot has been injected directly into the skull and used to monitor brain activity. The researchers believe that this technology could be used to gain a better understanding of conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and depression.
