We can use that to create new ways to perceive the world, says neuroscientist David Eagleman Image Press coverage | May 12, 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute 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. Image Research news | May 12, 2021 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Software turns ‘mental handwriting’ into on-screen words, sentences Artificial intelligence, interpreting data from a device placed at the brain’s surface, enables people who are paralyzed or have severely impaired limb movement to communicate by text.

Image Research news | Sep 28, 2020 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford scientists solve secret of nerve cells marking a form of schizophrenia A common genetic deletion boosts the risk for schizophrenia by 30-fold. Generating nerve cells from people with the deletion has showed Stanford researchers why. Image Research news | Jul 29, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Key gene behind hallmark of Lou Gehrig’s disease identified Stanford researchers identified a gene crucial to the formation of toxic proteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and showed how it could inform potential therapies for the disease. Image Research news | Jul 18, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Stanford team stimulates neurons to induce particular perceptions in mice's mind... Stanford scientists, using only direct brain stimulation, reproduced both the brain dynamics and the behavioral response of mice taught to discriminate between two different images. Image Research news | Jul 18, 2019 Stanford Medicine - Scope Stanford team induces mice to see specific things that aren’t there The real question a new study suggests isn't why some people occasionally experience hallucinations: It's why all of us aren't hallucinating all the time. Image Press coverage | Jul 18, 2019 The New York Times Why Are These Mice Hallucinating? Scientists Are in Their Heads New laser technology appeared to trigger particular images in the brains of lab mice. Image Research news | Jul 10, 2019 Stanford Medicine - Scope Fish sleep like us, new research has found Researchers find that neural sleep patterns in fish are analogous to those in mammals, paving ways to develop sleep medication. Image Press coverage | Jul 10, 2019 National Goegraphic These slumbering fish may offer clues to the origins of sleep Scientists who peered inside snoozing zebrafish have spotted some strikingly familiar patterns of activity. Image Research news | Jul 10, 2019 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Neural sleep patterns emerged at least 450 million years ago Researchers have found that brain patterns in sleeping zebrafish are similar to those of land vertebrates, suggesting that such sleep signatures developed before aquatic and land animals diverged. Image Press coverage | Jul 10, 2019 Newsweek Sleep as humans experience it may have emerged 450 million years ago Scientists who studied a small, transparent fish believe the way humans sleep could have evolved 450 million years ago. Image Press coverage | Jul 10, 2019 PBS Like us, fish experience the ‘dreaming’ stage of sleep Deep sleep and REM sleep could be universal among vertebrates, stretching 450 million years back in evolutionary time.
