How do DBMIs work?
DBMIs work by facilitating efficient interactions between external devices and deep brain structures. This allows for the meticulous monitoring and precise modulation of neural activity in the targeted brain regions. The process typically involves the following steps:
- Implantation: A DBMI device is implanted into the brain, typically through a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
- Signal reading: The device reads neural signals from the targeted brain regions, such as the reward system or stress response.
- Signal processing: The device processes the neural signals, allowing for the precise modulation of brain activity.
- Stimulation: The device applies targeted stimulation to the brain, such as electrical impulses or thermal energy, to modulate neural activity.
