在过去的几年中，计算机芯片产业处于两个重大转变之中，一个是从32位芯片过渡到64位芯片，另一个是从单核过渡到多核。

In the past few years, the computer chip industry has been in the process of two major transitions, one from 32-bit chips to 64-bit and from single cores to multiple cores.

于是，一些无线芯片，比如用于全球定位系统的芯片或者用于蓝牙无线通讯的芯片现在每个只卖1美元，而体积只有火柴头那么大。

As a result, some radio chips—for example, those used for the Global Positioning System, say, or for Bluetooth wireless communications—now cost as little as $1 and are the size of a matchhead.

其中一个问题是芯片太“过于智能”了——与普通芯片的数字脉冲输出不同，它的输出是模拟信号，因此用于数字芯片的测试程序被它干扰了。

Part of the problem is that the chip is just too intelligent - rather than a standard digital pulse it produces an analogue output that flummoxes the standard software used to test chips.

We begin by doing a neural surgical procedure, to implant a silicon based electrode array that you are seeing on the right.

一开始，我们做一个神经手术，植入一个电极排列芯片,正如大家在右边说看到的。
