Cracking the Neural Code in Humans

Cracking the Neural Code in Humans on Simons Foundation

By Emily Singer March 29, 2022 In a sterile operating room at Massachusetts General Hospital, neurosurgeon Ziv Williams stood poised above his patient. Williams was about to implant a deep brain stimulation device, a specialized electrode designed to treat movement disorders, through a small hole drilled in the skull. But first he would perform a much more unusual procedure. The patient had agreed to be part of a study testing a device called Neuropixels, a silicon electrode array capable of tracking brain activity at unprecedented scale and resolution. Researchers would record from the patien
