At first glance, the idea sounds implausible: a computer made not of silicon, but of living brain cells. It’s the kind of ...

In a lab rack that looks more like a high-end audio system than a server, clusters of human brain cells are quietly learning ...

A radically miniaturized brain implant called BISC is redefining what’s possible in human–computer interaction, offering a paper-thin, wireless, high-bandwidth link directly to the brain. With over 65 ...

At the heart of this research is a miniaturized transcranial optogenetic neural stimulator. This innovative device operates wirelessly, enabling real-time modulation of cortical activity. Key features ...

A small study shows cognitive improvements in patients with AD following treatment with an in-home gamma sensory stimulation ...

Personalized, adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) can enhance the control of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with standard DBS, new research suggests. In a blinded randomized ...

What Is Deep Brain Stimulation? The procedure involves implanting electrodes within areas of the brain for people with movement conditions. "The electrodes produce electrical impulses that affect ...

For weeks, Steele, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, and members of his lab have traveled to an addiction treatment center in Middletown, Connecticut, where they are ...

Deep brain stimulation can significantly reduce depressive symptoms in some individuals. Knowing what to expect before and after the procedure may help you determine if it’s right for you. Deep brain ...

While stuttering was believed to have purely psychological causes up until about 30 years ago, scientists today attribute it to a variety of factors capable of contributing to its development. For ...

A new brain stimulating helmet that could improve the treatment of both depression and Parkinson's disease represents a "paradigm shift" for neuroscience, say researchers. The ultrasound device ...
