Chinese researchers yesterday unveiled a new EEG capture device that for the first time recorded synchronous electroencephalogram signals from more than 1,000 people across different regions. The team says it solved two key technical hurdles: miniaturizing hardware while preserving signal fidelity, and overcoming network latency to achieve millisecond-level time alignment across devices and locations. The capability will generate large-scale, high-quality EEG datasets for training neural foundation models and advancing commercial brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, expanding AI training inputs from text, images and video to direct neural signals.
