A team led by Northwestern University and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab scientists have developed a new technology that can eavesdrop on the hidden electrical dialogues unfolding inside miniature, lab-grown ...

Precise electrical stimulation is essential for modern neural interfaces, but unwanted current spread often activates off-target cells and limits resolution. A new microneedle electrode design ...

In the treatment of epilepsy and other neurological disorders, doctors will sometimes implant arrays of stimulating electrodes on the surface of a patient's brain. A new soft robotic system allows ...

(A) Approximate brain size of human and macaque, which is a widely used experimental nonhuman primate. (B) Imaging methods for the detections of brain structure and function. (C) Different types of ...

Whether subconscious breathing or intentional operations like walking, reaching and grabbing, every action of the human body comes from a signal transmitted through the nervous system of a powerful ...

Momentum behind brain-computer interfaces is growing, but experts say that design innovations are needed to help them survive ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. After being approached by a neurosurgeon seeking a less invasive ...

External devices that can stimulate and record from the cells of the nervous system date back to Galvani's experiments on the animation of frog muscle. These early neural interfaces—like some still in ...
