TWO emerging nano-electronic technologies — one resting on the brain’s surface, the other navigating to it through the ...

Can a thought-controlled wheelchair or robotic dog become as second nature to control as the movement of one’s legs and arms? In Shanghai, scientists have shown that this is no longer the stuff of ...

The new research, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that the explanation may not lie in ...

The idea of “reading minds” has shifted from science fiction to a concrete engineering challenge, and the latest breakthroughs suggest the brain’s private code is finally yielding. Researchers are not ...

According to research, there may be similar underlying causes for both physical and cognitive weariness. Demanding mental effort can exacerbate physical tiredness, just as a marathon stresses both the ...

Scientists have created a soft wireless implant that uses tiny flashes of light to send information straight into the brain, allowing animals to learn brand-new artificial signals.

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale—with nanoflowers. A study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry demonstrated that ...

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

In laboratory experiments, the team used the device to send tiny, patterned bursts of light into the brains of genetically modified mice whose neurons respond to light. The mice quickly learned to ...

The achievements and discoveries in science and technology have not only profoundly reshaped how we live but also given us ...
