The Brain Initiative has the ambitious goal to map the neural activity(1khz) of parts of the human brain(a neural circuit,few million neurons) within 10 years.
Therefore scientists are developing new imaging tools , such as photoacoustic in vivo 3D laser scanning for in and output with help of new fluorescent agents like nanodiamonds (Bikanta) or other caged compound molecules for imaging through skull and tissue. Wavefront engineering and adaptive optics......etc....
Pretty insane.

New research building exclusively for BMI technologies in Freiburg.
Costs: 37 million euros.

I'm super excited about this kind of tech. But they'll have to make it small/fashionable for people to use it on the go. Plus, I wonder about power needed to operate the tech for this. Seems like it will be first applied the medical, and military use. assuming it works "amazingly", we could finally have new working limbs.. so on.

Slowly but steadily progress is creeping forwards.
[/Wirelessly powered, fully internal optogenetics for brain, spinal and peripheral circuits in mice

[/To enable sophisticated optogenetic manipulation of neural circuits throughout the nervous system with limited disruption of animal behavior, light-delivery systems beyond fiber optic tethering and large, head-mounted wireless receivers are desirable. We report the development of an easy-to-construct, implantable wireless optogenetic device. Our smallest version (20 mg, 10 mm3) is two orders of magnitude smaller than previously reported wireless optogenetic systems, allowing the entire device to be implanted subcutaneously. With a radio-frequency (RF) power source and controller, this implant produces sufficient light power for optogenetic stimulation with minimal tissue heating (<1 °C). We show how three adaptations of the implant allow for untethered optogenetic control throughout the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerve endings) of behaving mice. This technology opens the door for optogenetic experiments in which animals are able to behave naturally with optogenetic manipulation of both central and peripheral targets.quote]
very very crude, though effective......
nanotechnology still hasn't arrived yet in neuroscience....
