Neurotech 5: Tapping into Neurons (Autopatching)

Описание: Explore Neurotech at http://neurotech.eyewire.org

“The weak link in understanding ourselves is really about understanding how our brains generate our minds and how our minds generate our selves,” says MIT Neuroscientist Ed Boyden. Explore how one technology stands to bridge the gap.
