It’ll be interesting to see if they can scale their setups up to the macro level…

At that point, following this idea, perhaps we could experimentally quantify averaged linkages between brain regions (with the assumption that this’ll vary significantly between people and have functional implications). “Brain region” is a fine concept but it does break down if you push it too hard.

Genetically, spatially, and temporally controlled pinging of neurons. Now happening in primates in a lab near you.
