MIT Researcher Polina Anikeeva who wants to develop Materials That Can Replace Brain
Russian born, Polina Anikeeva who's in MIT explores the possibilities to develop materials that can be replaced with biological tissues in the brain. By blending physics with biology Polina is trying to find substitutes that can be flexible as brain tissue by using in house developed multipurpose fibers that can deliver electrical, optical and chemical signals to each neuron in the brain. They have developed fibers that can deliver signals as in the spinal cord which has tested on animals by anesthetized and immobilized.
By injecting nanoparticles with active magnetic fields can be used to develop the ultimate goal of making human-like the brain and to provide accurate treatments for brain diseases and other critical diseases.
As Polina states, that there's nothing that exists in the world where to interface the experiment work. And the nervous system is just a really huge scientific problem and being able to develop tools to understand it and study it.
