A new brain implant stands to transform human-computer interaction and expand treatment possibilities for neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and ...

A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a paper-thin, wireless, high-bandwidth link directly to the brain. With over 65 ...

Finding ways to reduce the invasiveness of brain implants could greatly expand their potential applications. A new device tested in mice that sits on the brain’s surface—but can still read activity ...

By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without medications, its developers say.

Having a smoother brain surface could reveal your likelihood of developing major depressive disorder (MDD), according to a new study. The outer layer of the brain, called the cerebral cortex, is ...

The brain implant is an ultra-thin chip designed to create a fast, wireless link between the human brain and artificial ...

Modern technology for recording deep-brain activity involves sharp metal electrodes that penetrate the tissue, causing damage that can compromise the signal and limiting how often they can be used. A ...

To understand how the brain works, scientists often use neuroimaging to record participants’ brain activity when the brain is performing a task or at rest. Researchers often use what is called a ...

BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) -- At a busy imaging lab at the University of California, Berkeley researchers are preparing for a journey to unmapped corners of the human brain. To get there, the team led by ...

Transcranial focused ultrasound, a non-invasive technique to stimulate specific areas of the brain using high-frequency sound waves, could be a promising treatment strategy for many neurological ...

The research, published June 4 in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, identifies critical connections between activity of the epilepsy drug perampanel and the resulting movements of the AMPA ...
