Groundbreaking research published in PNAS using Blackrock Neurotech’s Utah Array technology to record, for the first time ever, shows how individual neurons in the human visual cortex process and respond to images of bodies and body parts. In a remarkable advancement for neuroscience, researchers at KU Leuven implanted our 96-electrode Utah Arrays in the lateral occipitotemporal cortex of two patients, allowing unprecedented access to the brain’s ‘body recognition center.’
Key Findings
What makes this particularly exciting is that these recordings came from conscious, awake humans performing visual tasks, offering a direct window into how our brains process what we see in real-time. This research represents another significant milestone in understanding human visual processing and showcases how Blackrock Neurotech’s technology continues to enable breakthrough neuroscience discoveries.
Congratulations to the brilliant team of researchers who made this breakthrough possible! Proud to see our Utah Array contributing to the expansion of human knowledge and advancing neuroscience research.
