Sleeping while wired up with a full EEG cap would be hard enough here on Earth, but can you imagine trying to do so in the zero-gravity environment of outer space? It could be quite awkward, which is why an earbud has been designed to serve the same pu… Continue reading EEG earbud is made to monitor astronauts’ sleep patterns on the ISS
X-ray vision has long been a staple power for superheroes, but soon mere mortals could see hidden objects with a little help from AI. Researchers at the University of Glasgow have demonstrated a “ghost imaging” system that reads the brainwaves of a per… Continue reading “Ghost imaging” combines human vision with AI to see around corners
There are a variety of instruments used in sleep studies to measure bodily activity during sleep and consequent sleep quality. Many of them use techniques that perhaps aren’t so easy …read more Continue reading A Sleep Monitor For Minimum Outlay
As any cat owner will tell you, a cat’s ears are great indicators of its state of mind: pointed forward if they want your attention, turned backwards if they’re angry, …read more Continue reading These Mind-Controlled Cat Ears Move With Your Mood
“My whole life flashed before my eyes” is a phrase we often hear regarding near-death experiences – and there just might be some truth to it. Scientists have recorded the activity of a dying human brain for the first time ever, revealing brain wave pat… Continue reading First-ever recording of dying human brain reveals dreaming-like activity
Among brain researchers there’s a truism that says the reason people underestimate how much unconscious processing goes on in your brain is because you’re not conscious of it. And while …read more Continue reading The Real Science (Not Armchair Science) Of Consciousness
[Cangar]’s excitement is palpable in his release of a working brain-computer interface (BCI) mod for Skyrim VR, in which the magic system in the game is modified so that spell …read more Continue reading Magic in VR That Depends On Your Actual State of Mind
Everybody knows sleep is important, but there’s still a lot we don’t understand about what it actually does to the brain – and how its benefits could be boosted. To investigate, the US Army has awarded researchers at Rice University and other instituti… Continue reading Brain-cleaning sleeping cap gets US Army funding
The electrical signals emitted by the human body tell us a lot about what’s going on inside. But getting those signals inside your microcontroller is not straightforward: the voltages are …read more Continue reading Universal Bio-Electrical Signal Amplifier Makes Reading Body Signals Easy
An international study is showing, for the first time, that it may be possible to predict the onset of epileptic seizures several days in advance. By analyzing data from a clinically approved brain implant designed to monitor and prevent seizures, the … Continue reading Brain implant forecasts seizures days in advance
