Indian Institute Launches Brain Co-Processor Moonshot

The Indian Institute of Science has launched a Moonshot project, funded by the Pratiksha Trust, to develop AI-driven brain co-processors that decode neural signals and provide closed-loop stimulation for restoring lost functions. The two-phase effort, starting with non-invasive neural co-processors and then minimally invasive implants, focuses on stroke rehabilitation, India-specific EEG/ECoG datasets, and open digital tools.
