BrainSTORMS - Bryant McGill

# BrainSTORMS **Entity class:** Concept or analytic term **Domain:** Neurotechnology / Wireless interfaces **Doc Type:** Developed Research Program Node **Maturity:** Research-stage **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] ## Definition **BrainSTORMS** is a Rice University neuroengineering research effort exploring minimally invasive or wireless approaches to neural recording and stimulation, including magnetoelectric materials and distributed interface concepts. ## Significance The program belongs to the article's frontier tier as evidence that interface research is pushing beyond conventional implanted electrodes. Its presence does not establish operational mind reading or control. It identifies a research direction whose constitutional stakes grow with bandwidth, persistence, addressability, and distance from informed consent. ## Routes [[wiki/Magnetoelectric Nanoparticle|Magnetoelectric Nanoparticle]] · [[wiki/Brain-Computer Interfaces|Brain-Computer Interfaces]] · [[wiki/DARPA N3|DARPA N3]] · [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] ## Sources - [[articles/gamification/America Loves Games and the Home Court Advantage|America Loves Games and the Home Court Advantage]] - [Rice University Neuroengineering Initiative](https://neuroengineering.rice.edu/) ## Neurotech source route **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] **Source article:** [[articles/2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces|2026 Annual Report on Brain-Computer Interfaces]] ## Relationships [[wiki/BrainSTORMS|BrainSTORMS]] is related to [[wiki/Battelle Memorial Institute|Battelle Memorial Institute]], [[wiki/DARPA N3|DARPA N3]], and [[wiki/Magnetoelectric Nanotransducer|magnetoelectric nanotransducers]].
