Infineon Technologies AG can read your mind.

At least, that's how the German company touts a biochip it's developing, called Neuro-Chip. The device can measure the amount of electricity in human brain cells in a new way.

The company says the chip will help researchers test new drugs, and even speed up treatment of some brain diseases.

Neuro-Chips will provide insight into the workings of human brain functions, helping research such diseases as Alzheimer's, says Roland Thewes, senior director at Infineon's corporate research center.

Infineon is still in the testing stage. But Thewes says the company is confident it can make the Neuro-Chip in large enough quantities to make it a viable product.
