EPFL's LogSync implant runs on-chip machine learning at 200 microwatts to trigger brain stimulation only when it detects a target state

The 4-by-2-millimeter chip reads synchrony between brain regions to decide when to stimulate, but its human results come from recorded datasets, not implants.

Engineers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) built LogSync, an implantable system-on-chip that tracks communication between brain regions, the Russian-language channel AI ML Big Data reported. Mahsa Shoaran, hea…
