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.

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.

We are proud to welcome the 2024 Neurosciences Postdoctoral Scholars — ten young scientists pursuing novel, multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding the workings of the brain.

Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute advances its ambitious “Big Ideas” Initiatives to the next level

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).

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.
