Engineers at Northwestern University have successfully printed flexible artificial neurons that communicate with living brain cells using lifelike electrical signals. This breakthrough, demonstrated in mouse brain tissue, opens new possibilities for merging technology with the human brain and could eventually lead to innovative treatments for neurological conditions. The devices are designed to be low-cost and accessible, making this a significant step forward in brain-computer interface technology.
