Visionary and sometimes controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk hinted at advances in next-generation brain hacking. Recent research results promise future “neural lace” technology that could enhance our...
For all of man’s scientific and technological advances, the human brain largely remains a mystery. A new Vimeo video, “Master/Mind,” examines the state of research on the human...
University of Washington researchers used a direct brain-to-brain connection to enable pairs of participants to play a question-and-answer game by transmitting signals from one brain to...
Researchers at Ohio State University have grown a nearly complete human brain in a dish that equals the brain maturity of a 5-week-old fetus. The lab-grown...
IBM scientists are advancing toward “neuromorphic” computing – digital systems that process information like the brain – and launching a complete ecosystem for brain-like computing, with...
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) website reports that two of DARPA’s Young Faculty Award (YFA) recipients have developed nanoscale electronic switches with reprogrammable features,...
Neuroscientists at Stanford University have developed a technique that continuously corrects brain readings, resulting in a more precise way to type using a thought-controlled cursor. The...
Researchers at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Boston University School of Medicine, used a new brain imaging technology to look inside...
Neuroscientists funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed an ultra-thin, minimally invasive device for controlling brain cells with drugs and light, and demonstrated...
Neuroscientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have tracked nerve cells firing in the brains of rats as they plan where to go next,...
Neuroscientists at Duke University have linked the brains of groups of monkey and rats in networks, and demonstrated how the linked brains of two or more...
Neuroscientists have for the first time mapped the sensory and motor systems in the brains of dolphins, and shown that at least two areas of the...
Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg is persuaded that we will become telepathic species. The technology of social networks like Facebook will, someday, become so advanced that people...
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a cockroach-inspired robot that uses body streamlining to negotiate obstacles. Postdoctoral Fellow Chen Li built cockroach-like robots...
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have built a fully functional neuron by using organic bioelectronics. This artificial neuron contain no “living” parts, but is capable...
Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a revolutionary brain-machine interface to restore a sense of independence to the disabled. The research,...
A new study from Lund University in Sweden indicates that inherited viruses that are millions of years old play an important role in building up the...
In a recent poll, Bloomberg showed that half of American’s don’t want their children playing football. Even United States President Barack Obama was quoted saying if...
A neuroprosthetic implant developed by EPFL scientists can be applied directly to the spinal cord without causing damage and inflammation. The soft cybernetic implant, which fuses...
In five years, the world is moving toward an average of 10 devices per household. By 2020, predictions account for 20 billion devices globally. Connectivity is...
