What's happening inside Simone Biles' brain when the 'twisties' set in?
A complex system in the brain that keeps gymnasts balanced can get out of whack, says Kelli Moran-Miller of Stanford Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
I'm a neuroscientist. I'm not worried about how screens will affect kids' brains — here's why.
Wu Tsai Neuro member David Eagleman says the internet, including screens, has unlocked a much richer level of education for children today.
Book Review: Lessons Learned From the Wayward Brain
Deisseroth, a professor at Stanford University, is best known for developing new and influential technologies for studying the brain. But in this book he draws from his work as an emergency psychiatrist at a hospital in Silicon Valley, and explores how co
Stanford researchers may have identified why COVID-19 patients develop 'brain fog'
Researchers at Stanford Medicine have discovered a possible link to the "brain fog" that some COVID-19 patients have experienced.
Rebooting immune cells’ metabolism shields the aging brain in mice
Scientists recently discovered a process by which immune cells can drive aging in the brain, and how to block this pathway to improve memory and maze navigation in older mice.
Distorted, bizarre food smells haunt Covid survivors
Long after some people have recovered from the virus, they find certain foods off-putting.
Brain-Computer Interface Smashes Previous Record for Typing Speed
Imagining writing-by-hand is faster than imagining moving a cursor in new BCI system.
Autism mutation may cause big brain via ‘don’t eat me’ signals
An autism-linked mutation could make the brain grow unusually big by prompting cells to express a “don’t eat me” signal, according to a new study.
How novel is Neuralink?
Paul Nuyujukian discusses Neuralink's recent "MindPong" video" and the latest in BCI technology with Ira Flatow on Science Friday
Paralyzed man uses his mind to form real-time sentences
A man paralyzed from the neck down for almost a decade has used his mind to compose whole sentences in real-time, according to a new study.
Paralysed man uses ‘mindwriting’ brain computer to compose sentences
A man who was paralysed from the neck down in an accident more than a decade ago has written sentences using a computer system that turns imagined handwriting into words.
Man who is paralyzed communicates by imagining handwriting
A man who is paralyzed was able to type with 95% accuracy by imagining that he was handwriting letters on a sheet of paper, a team reported in the journal Nature.
Composing thoughts: mental handwriting produces brain activity that can be turned into text
Scientists have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) designed to restore the ability to communicate in people with spinal cord injuries and neurological disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
David Eagleman interview: How our brains could create whole new senses
Neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to remodel itself, enables us to interpret all kinds of sensations. We can use that to create new ways to perceive the world, says neuroscientist David Eagleman
Brain implants turn imagined handwriting into text on a screen
Electrodes in a paralyzed man’s brain turned his imagined handwriting into words typed on a screen. The translation from brain to text may ultimately point to ways to help people with disabilities like paralysis communicate using just their thoughts.
New brain implant turns visualized letters into text
Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, can restore movement in people with paralysis and may help treat neurological and psychiatric diseases.
