A research team led by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, has, for the first time, successfully decoded leg movements ...

To understand differences in neural activity between FXS and non-FXS individuals when responding to different frequencies, Thorpe said, researchers played an auditory “chirp,” or sound stimulus, and ...

Before his disease took his voice, he could type a message as fast as anyone. Now, with electrodes no larger than a grain of rice embedded near the surface of his brain, he can do it again, at 110 ...

Computers have always kept thinking and remembering in separate rooms. The processor works over here; the memory sits over ...

BrainGate researchers develop an investigational brain-computer interface that allows paralyzed patients to type at 22 words per minute using attempted finger movements.

Emotional states in animals are thought to be encoded by the coordinated activity of distributed brain networks, triggered by specific external stimuli.

A new study suggest that brief exercise, such as 20 minutes of moderate cycling, can boost brain activity, which may help to ...

Researchers have identified a previously overlooked neural pathway that helps control human hand and arm movements. The ...

When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide—cell by cell—what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

China approves world's first commercial brain-computer interface device to restore hand movement in paralysis patients.
