A recent meeting gathered scientists, ethicists, patient advocates and more to discuss organoid ethics.

Organoids are bits of neural tissue that model human brain development. Their use in science makes some uneasy, in part because the brain is so closely tied to our sense of self.

Scientists and ethicists including Wu Tsai Neuro affiliates Sergiu Pașca and Hank Greely argued for an international process to address the ethical and social questions raised by organoids.

In a recent study, scientists successfully decoded not only the words people tried to say but the words they merely imagined saying.

Science Corporation's retinal implant, built on the research of faculty affiliate Daniel Palanker, has allowed some people who lost their central vision to r

In this interview on the Huberman Lab podcast, Institute affiliate E.J. Chichilnisky discusses how studying the retina informs our understanding of the brain, the development of artificial retinas for treating incurable blindness, and his own personal journey.

A.I. models developed by members of Wu Tsai Neuro's Neuro-Omics Initiative are making surprising biological discoveries.

NBC Bay Area’s Raj Mathai spoke to Wu Tsai Neuro Institute Scholar Paul Nuyujukian for insight on the first brain chip in a human patient.

Institute Scholar Paul Nuyujukian contributes to the discussion of Neuralink implanting a brain chip into a human.

In a live interview, Wu Tsai Neuro Institute Scholar Paul Nuyujukian tells NBC News how Neuralink technology works and the future of brain-computer interfaces.

Researchers designed, built, and tested a new focused ultrasound neuromodulation system for preclinical brain research supported by a Seed Grant.

Brain-computer interface technology assisted with language learning AI allows paralyzed individuals to speak by reading brain activity and decoding it into speech according to new research co-authored by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Erin Kunz.

Using brain implants, machine learning and a predictive model, researchers at Stanford Medicine and Wu Tsai Neuro decoded a woman’s attempts to speak at a rate that begins to approach natural conversation.

Institute scholar Paul Nuyujukian and Mark Churchland remember the great Krishna Shenoy, who passed away earlier this year.

By stretching the length of deep sleep, Tucker’s device aims to boost that overnight wash cycle. Someday soon, he hopes, something like it will be widely used by people to clear their heads — literally.
