चर्चा में क्यों
The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) launched a moonshot project to develop brain co-processors combining neuromorphic hardware and AI algorithms to restore brain function in stroke survivors.
पृष्ठभूमि
The project is funded by the Pratiksha Trust, founded by Senapathy ‘Kris’ Gopalakrishnan and Sudha Gopalakrishnan. It aims to develop implantable and non-invasive co-processors that decode brain activity and re-encode signals via neural stimulation or neurofeedback.
