Measuring deep-brain neurons’ electrical signals at high speed with light instead of electrodes. View article details on hiswai:

Excerpt

<div>Researchers at MIT have developed a new approach to measure electrical activity deep in the brain: using light — an easier, faster, and more informative method than inserting electrodes. They’ve developed a new light-sensitive protein that can be embedded into neuron membranes, where it emits a fluorescent signal that indicates how much voltage a particular cell [...]</div>
