Researchers were able to see through a living mouse’s skin to its internal organs, supported in part by the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, simply by applying common light-absorbing molecules.

A research team at Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute has made a major stride in using AI to replicate how the brain organizes sensory information to make sense of the world, opening up new frontiers for virtual neuroscience.

By combining advances in display technologies, holographic imaging, and artificial intelligence, Stanford engineers have found a way to display full-color, 3D moving images over a direct view of the real world.

For those with stroke, involuntary contractions of the hands and arms often follow. A simple, wearable vibrating glove developed by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliates Allison Okamura, Caitlin Seim and others, may offer a more effective treatment.

Learn about the experience of several participants in the BrainGate brain-computer interface clinical trial, and the large team effort by Wu Tsai Neuro affiliates Jaimie Henderson, Paul Nuyujukian, and the late Krishna Shenoy over the past decade to get n

Inspired by Japanese paper art, a new device can record from 3D ‘organoid’ models of the developing human brain for months without disturbing their growth or structure.

Karl Deisseroth, Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate and pioneering psychiatrist and engineer, discusses the technologies he’s given to the world and the way those technologies are making life better for people across the globe.

Our brains remember how to formulate words even if the muscles responsible for saying them out loud are incapacitated. A brain-computer hookup is making the dream of restoring speech a reality in a Stanford Medicine study, which includes Wu Tsai Neuro aff

Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Bo Wang’s team expanded mouse brain tissue to improve the resolution of spatial transcriptomics techniques. Their method — called Ex-ST — greatly improves the ability to map brain circuits by cell type.

New insights into the drivers of aging are emerging from research using an automated system for care and monitoring of hundreds of short-lived fish developed in the Wu Tsai Neuroscience Institute’s Sandbox Laboratory.

Stanford bioengineering professor Kwabena Boahen looks toward dendrites for a completely novel way of thinking about computer chips.

Clever design leads to a polymer that combines stretchiness with high electrical conductivity.

A new string-like implant can monitor fluctuations in brain chemicals, like a fitness tracker for the brain.

Wu Tsai Neuro faculty scholar Guosong Hong and colleagues have developed the first non-invasive technique for controlling targeted brain circuits in behaving animals from a distance. The tool gives neuroscientists the ability to flexibly test the function

AI can reveal remarkable medical insights, but only if patients and doctors have faith in it. Thus, trust has become AI’s singular goal, says this Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate.

Stanford University engineers Mark Cutkosky, a Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute faculty affiliate, and David Lentink – now at University of Groningen in the Netherlands – have developed a perching robot that can fly around, catch and carry objects and perc
