Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The device has potential applications in a wide range o… Continue reading Ultra-thin, high-res sensor records single-neuron activity deep in the brain
There may be new hope for stroke victims and other “locked-in” people who are unable to communicate by conventional means. It comes in the form of the experimental new BrainGPT system, which is able to read users’ thoughts and convert them into readabl… Continue reading Mind-reading BrainGPT converts thought-of words into displayed text
Two recent studies may have discovered how electroconvulsive therapy and its close cousin, magnetic seizure therapy, are so effective at alleviating some mental illnesses, especially severe depression – something that has puzzled psychiatrists and neur… Continue reading New studies may explain why shock therapy effectively treats depression
When a person has suffered a stroke, the severity of that stroke has to be determined as fast as possible. An experimental new brain-wave-reading cap was created with that fact in mind, as it allows strokes to be assessed before the patient even reache… Continue reading Potentially life-saving cap assesses strokes en route to the hospital
Earlier this year we heard about the ear-EEG, a special earbud that reads electrical activity in the brain. Well, scientists have now developed add-on sensors that allow regular earbuds to do so, and to analyze sweat to boot.Continue ReadingCategory: H… Continue reading Earbud-integrated sensors analyze both brain waves and sweat
It is believed that long before Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases present more obvious symptoms, the disorders may be noticeable in subtle changes to a person’s sleep patterns. A new project aims to see if such telltale changes could be detected by a small earbud-like device, allowing action to be taken much sooner.

One day in the future, we may interact with our electronic devices not with physical input or even voice commands, but simply by thinking about what we want to do. …read more Continue reading PiEEG Offers Affordable Brain-Computer Interface
The advent of high-resolution imaging has provided healthcare providers and scientists with a greater understanding of the brain circuit malfunctions seen in epileptics, but less is known about how epilepsy affects behavior. A new study has used state-… Continue reading AI outperforms human eye in spotting epileptic behavior in mice
The brain is a constant center of electrical activity, and when measured via electroencephalogram (EEG), certain patterns emerge, in the form of regularly oscillating brainwave activity. When you’re feeling calm and relaxed, or even meditative, your br… Continue reading Brain-frequency primer accelerates learning and retention
