(from MIT news) Recording electrical signals from inside a neuron in the living brain can reveal a great deal of information about that neuron’s function and how it coordinates with other cells in the brain. However, performing this kind of recording is extremely difficult, so only a handful of neuroscience labs around the world do it. To make this technique more widely available, MIT engineers have now devised a way to automate the process, using a computer algorithm that analyzes micros...
