Scientists at a Canadian university have developed the first ever micro chip, which helps read your brains.

Doesn’t it sound superbly exciting: just like the sci-fiction Hollywood movie? A chip in the brain that encodes and reads you! Yes, it is real now - your brain can be made available on a microchip, also known as a neurochip.

Canadian Scientists at the University of Calgary are a few inches away to bring before the world an amazing innovation that can leave your jaws drop. The nearly completed neurochip is designed to communicate with brains cells and coordinate the information based on the changes in brain activity. It helps to monitor the electrical and chemical brain cells network and record any changes in the course.

The master brain behind the neuro chip, Naweed Syed a professor and Head of the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy has given a new dimension to help understand diseases like Parkinson Alzheimer, and various other neurological illnesses which are considered to be incurable, degenerative and terminal diseases by neuropathologists.

"We have never been able to record the subtle activity from brain cells that we have now because this is actually the last frontier. This technical breakthrough means we can track subtle changes in brain activity at the level of ion channels and synaptic potentials, which are also the most suitable target sites for drug development in neuro-degenerative diseases and neuropsychological disorders,” quotes Syed to the media.

We surely hope the new device helps cure the incurables! We’d leave you with a quote to ponder.
