Long after some people have recovered from the virus, they find certain foods off-putting.

Imagining writing-by-hand is faster than imagining moving a cursor in new BCI system.

Light triggers formation, feeds growth of optic nerve tumors

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.

Paul Nuyujukian discusses Neuralink's recent "MindPong" video" and the latest in BCI technology with Ira Flatow on Science Friday

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

Brain-computer interfaces, or BCIs, can restore movement in people with paralysis and may help treat neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Multitasking might seem like a clever way to get a grip on an out-of-control to-do list, but research shows that’s not such a great plan.

The hippocampus is a brain structure within the temporal lobe known to play a key role in memory and learning.

Unlike smartphones, our mental hardware is tremendously changeable. Here’s how our remarkably nimble brains rewire themselves.

In a new study, women reported higher levels of fatigue associated with video calls than men. The solution, though, isn’t as simple as not having video calls.
