Could a scientist intervene in a brain experiment on the other side of the world without leaving their desk?
AI Summary
Researchers demonstrated remote control of a wireless brain implant by transmitting commands from Chicago to the device located in Daejeon, South Korea, a distance of about 10,596 km (6,584 mi). The experiment used optical stimulation, with blue‑light emission from the implant’s probe, showing that a scientist can intervene in a brain experiment across continents without leaving their desk.
