日本剪纸艺术启发中国柔性脑植入技术

February 13, 2026

由 AI 报道

中国科学家借鉴日本剪纸艺术“kirigami”，开发出可拉伸微电极阵列，用于克服现有电极技术的局限，如Neuralink。该阵列植入猕猴脑中，能随脑组织弯曲，记录数百个神经元活动。研究论文发表于《Nature Electronics》2月5日刊。

中国科学院的研究人员利用日本传统剪纸艺术“kirigami”的原理，设计出柔性微电极阵列，以推进脑机接口技术的发展。这种阵列旨在解决现有电极技术的限制，例如Neuralink的细丝回缩问题。

研究团队表示：“脑机接口的发展需要可植入微电极阵列，能够在大空间和时间尺度上与众多神经元交互。”这些柔性阵列被植入猕猴大脑中，能够随脑组织运动或弯曲，同时记录数百个神经元的活动。

脑机接口通过电极记录神经信号，并分析这些信号来执行动作，如控制机械臂。它提供大脑活动与计算机之间的直接连接。关键词包括微电极、中国科学院、猕猴、日本kirigami艺术、中国科学家、灵长类大脑、脑机接口、Elon Musk、《Nature Electronics》、神经活动记录器、细丝回缩和Neuralink。

该研究发表于2026年2月14日的南华早报报道，基于2月5日的论文。

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine report that a machine-learning system called SIGNET can infer cause-and-effect links between genes in human brain tissue, revealing extensive rewiring of gene regulation—especially in excitatory neurons—in Alzheimer’s disease.

Northwestern engineers print artificial neurons that can stimulate living brain cells

Northwestern University researchers report they have printed flexible “artificial neurons” that generate realistic electrical spike patterns and can trigger responses in living mouse brain tissue. The team says the work, published April 15 in Nature Nanotechnology, could help advance brain-machine interfaces and more energy-efficient, brain-inspired computing.

Monkeys control virtual worlds with brain implants

April 15, 2026 由 AI 报道

Three rhesus macaque monkeys equipped with brain-computer interfaces navigated virtual environments using only their thoughts. Researchers implanted around 300 electrodes in motor and premotor cortex areas to enable this control. The experiments aim to improve intuitive control for people with paralysis.

MIT paper lays out how focused ultrasound could test theories of consciousness

Researchers affiliated with MIT argue that transcranial focused ultrasound—a noninvasive technique that can modulate activity in deep brain regions—could enable more direct, cause-and-effect tests of how conscious experiences arise. In a “roadmap” review in *Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews*, they describe experimental approaches aimed at distinguishing between competing accounts of where and how awareness is generated in the brain.

Epia Neuro launches brain implant for stroke hand recovery

April 02, 2026 由 AI 报道

Epia Neuro, a newly launched startup in San Francisco, is developing a brain-computer interface to help stroke patients regain hand movement. The system combines a brain implant with a motorized glove. Stroke remains a leading cause of long-term disability, affecting hand and arm function in about two-thirds of survivors.

USC-led trial tests dopamine-producing stem cell implants for Parkinson’s

Doctors at Keck Medicine of USC are implanting lab-grown, dopamine-producing cells into the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease in an early-stage clinical trial that will enroll up to 12 participants across three U.S. sites.
