Next-gen “dry” electrodes used to control a robot via brain waves

Although it is possible to control devices using brain waves, doing so usually involves having electrodes and conductive gel applied to one’s head. Now, however, scientists have developed a new-and-improved type of “dry” electrode – and it’s been used … Continue reading Next-gen “dry” electrodes used to control a robot via brain waves

New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface

The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not only for healthcare but for a range of other industr… Continue reading New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface

Mini human brains implanted in mice respond to light the animals see

Miniature human brains, grown from stem cells and implanted into living mice, have for the first time been shown to respond to things the mice were seeing. The scientists were able to watch the responses in real time thanks to specialized graphene elec… Continue reading Mini human brains implanted in mice respond to light the animals see
