In Porto, a neuroscientist is teaching artificial intelligence to listen to the brain and speak back to it — not through fixed commands, but through a living dialogue that adapts in real time. The NeuroSAFE project, funded through a Portuguese-American scientific partnership, seeks to develop algorithms that observe neurons firing, stimulate them thoughtfully, and learn from the response, much as any skilled practitioner learns from practice. The ambition is not merely technical: if the work succeeds, it could reshape how humanity treats some of its most persistent neurological afflictions, fr
