I mean, essentially. As this article so casually states, Columbia biomedical engineers have found a way to use silk to attach electrode arrays DIRECTLY ONTO THE BOUNTIFUL FOLDS OF OUR BRAINS. Not once does this article attempt to explain why we'd want wires on our brains (except to say that this might one day cure blindness). My guess? The writer is one of these CU BME's test subjects.
