The Brainet can both synchronize and desynchronize neural activity.
A) Architecture of a Brainet that can synchronize and desynchronize its neural activity to perform virtual tactile stimuli classification. Different patterns of ICMS were simultaneously delivered to each rat in the Brainet. Neural signals from all neurons from each brain were analyzed and compared to the remaining rats in the Brainet. The Brainet was required to synchronize its neural activity to indicate the delivery of a Stimulus 1 and to desynchronize its neural activity to indicate the delivery of a Stimulus 2. B) Example of perievent histograms of neurons for ICMS Stimulus 1 and 2. C) The Brainet performance was above No-ICMS sessions and above individual rats’ performances. * indicates P < 0.05; ** indicates P < 0.01; n.s. indicates non significant.
