How a Memory Prosthesis Works: Inside Closed-Loop BCIs for Cognitive Augmentation
Closed-loop brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for cognitive augmentation read neural activity and write targeted electrical stimulation to enhance functions like memory. The USC memory prosthesis serves as a key example, illustrating the stages from neural recording and decoding to stimulation, while highlighting technical and ethical challenges.
