…flexible mats of closely spaced sensors being developed at UC San Diego. These kinds of sensor grids are temporarily placed directly on the surface of the brain during some cancer and epilepsy surgeries. Imagine describing a photograph of an oak tree growing in a meadow. Now imagine describing that same…
