IISc and Pratiksha Trust Launch Project to Develop AI-Based Brain Co-Processors

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), supported by the Pratiksha Trust founded by Senapathy 'Kris' Gopalakrishnan and Sudha Gopalakrishnan, launched a moonshot project on March 4 to develop brain co-processors integrating neuromorphic hardware and AI algorithms. These devices aim to decode and re-encode brain signals to enhance or restore functions, particularly for cognitive rehabilitation of stroke survivors. The multidisciplinary initiative builds on IISc's Brain, Computation and Data Science pilot program and seeks to advance neurological treatments globally.
