Being under chronic stress means that our brain is also constantly having to process this chronic stress, so there’s a higher level of baseline activity going on. It’s become a…
Elon Musk’s brain-machine interface company Neuralink showcased a pig outfitted with the company’s device, at an event livestreamed on YouTube. One pig, Gertrude, had a device recording signals from an…
Here, take a ride on this underground super-luge. Carbon emissions are stinking up the planet? Fix it with a fleet of electric cars—and while we’re at it, let’s make them…
Elon Musk has said that his secretive neurotech firm Neuralink will demonstrate a working “device,” presumably a brain-machine interface, at 6PM ET on Friday. Musk has spoken repeatedly about his…
Scientists have discovered a ground-breaking bio synthetic material that they claim can be used to merge artificial intelligence with the human brain. The breakthrough, presented today at the American Chemical…
It’s not realistic to assume any human brain sex differences are innate. They may also result from learning. People live in a fundamentally gendered culture, in which parenting, education, expectations…
Queensland researchers have found that patients who received a cellular immunotherapy for the deadly brain cancer glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in a clinical trial on average survived longer than would have…
“We’re a new country that is late to the competition in the global perspective,” al-Amiri told the British scientific journal Nature earlier this month. “It’s natural for people to think…
Elon Musk‘s mysterious Neuralink startup is working on a brain-computer interface that will allow wearers to stream music directly to their brain, the technology entrepreneur has claimed. Mr Musk, who…
And has been shown to improve cognition in individuals at risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. But what about those with physical limitations that hinder…
It’s just a start, but it’s pretty exciting: a system that translates brain activity into text. For those unable to physically speak, such as people with locked-in syndrome for example,…
